In this example the all-caps action line is parsed as a character element when I think it should be parsed as action (since there is no preceding blank line).

Her hands beneath her.
Feeling for anything.
SHARDS OF BROKEN GLASS.
She grabs a SHARD.
Holds tight. Slicing her palms.

Contrast with:

Her hands beneath her.
Feeling for anything.

SHARDS OF BROKEN GLASS.
She grabs a SHARD.
Holds tight. Slicing her palms.

which should be parsed as character.

In the following situation I've found that words are being skipped when you preview the PDF.

Type out "She slides her phone over and fumbles with her watch strap." (or copy/paste, I won't judge!)

With page size on "A4", the word "watch" is skipped when you preview in PDF. "US letter" doesn't have the same issue.

I'm using Firefox 47.0.

The bug happens for both the default firefox PDF viewer and the experimental JavaScript PDF viewer.

I've only noticed the bug on this particular line, so perhaps that sentence is the perfect storm of page width and word lengths?

Keep up the great work!

Goto, search, fold.

Use appcache to cache the app. Display a pop-up alert with a refresh button if new version was deployed.

I'ld like to try out the latest dev version, but building via grunt results in:

Would you please look into it?

Hey Piotr, just letting you know the latest version on npm is only at 1.2.6 (which gives me errors when attempting PDF creation). The git HEAD version works fine though.

Edit: Sorry my fault! I was using "letter" instead of "usletter" in my config file. v1.2.6 via npm works fine.

Set a goal (number/range of pages, minutes, dialogue/action balance, max number of characters, max scene length)

wrapping text?

I love awc.js. I think it's the best CLI for generating PDFs from Fountain files.

I'd like to install as a global package but it appears afterwriting-labs is not set up for that. Ideally I'd like to be able to npm install afterwriting or similar.

Finds "hanging words" and places where number of lines can be increased by few characters. Helps meet desired number of pages

Extract fountain parser/liner and fquery to a separate library

1. readability
2. dialogue avg. length (avg. % of speech per scene)
3. top 5000 words usage
4. lexical density
5. mood (exclamation marks, question marks, swearing, positive/negative words, other characters' reaction)
6. passive vs active voice
7. sentiment analysis
8. parts of speech stats
9. gender (http://www.hackerfactor.com/GenderGuesser.php#Analyze, http://u.cs.biu.ac.il/~koppel/papers/male-female-text-final.pdf)

similarity between characters

https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud/personality-insights-nodejs

for MORE, CONT'D, etc.

also for stats, like DAY, NIGHT, INT, EXT

Use dependency management tool (ditch libs)

I'm making a short film and feel like it would be a great chance to test Fountain and a spec addition I proposed for page-locking. How do you feel about testing out this spec addition, maybe in a separate branch? https://groups.google.com/d/topic/fountain-dev/W_cAivCNhIk/discussion

It's backwards compatible so won't interfere with existing scripts. Basically:

=== 10
or
=== 10 ===
or
====== 10 ==

where 10 is the forced page number.

Chinese?

Scene continuation appears in the header where in numerous examples it's part of the regular script and shows like a normal scene heading.

Conversion from fountain to pdf is not compatible with Japanese/Chinese characters.
Characters are replaced by blank spaces. Is it related to the font? #25

"namespaced" config entries; global/plugin settings

Load about section with main index.html

The line-wrapping (to 72-chars) is ignored for the sections defined by regexes. It's just in the narrative that the newlines are taken verbatim.

I tried to look through the parser to see if it would be a trivial fix (I don't know javascript or regexes well), but I couldn't figure it out. Fountain.js has the same problem.

This might also pose a problem in the editor. Is there a way to match the narrative blocks? (Text between a pair of double newlines that's not a match for anything else?)
