From plain text to formatted screenplay

1. Type your screenplay with plain text in Vim using Fountain syntax
2. One command converts the text to HTML

HTML to LibreOffice Writer

The HTML code is arranged to convey all the formatting information LibreOffice needs. After the text is converted to HTML...

1. Press 'enter' to send it to LibreOffice
2. Load template to establish proper page numbering

The result is a fully formatted screenplay.

Installation

Typical installation for a Vim plugin: a plugin file and a help file. Additional folders of templates can be kept anywhere. Download from vim.org and find more information in the README file.

Requirements

Fountain Flow for Vim does the entire job with Vimscript and regex, so all you need is Vim itself, and LibreOffice. For that reason, it should work fine under all operating systems.
