What is Fountain syntax?
Fountain is a simple markup language designed for writing screenplays in plain text.
It allows writers to create properly formatted screenplays without the need for specialized software.
Scrippet leverages this syntax to make screenplay formatting easy and accessible within WordPress.
For more information on the Fountain format, please visit fountain.io.
How do I add a Scrippet block to my post or page?
To add a Scrippet block, open the WordPress block editor and click on the “+” icon to add a new block.
Search for “Scrippet” in the block library, and click on it to insert it into your post or page.
You can then start writing your screenplay using Fountain syntax within the block, and the preview will render in real-time beneath the editor.
