Fountain is a simple markup syntax that allows screenplays to be written, edited, and shared in plain, human-readable text. Fountain allows you to work on your screenplay anywhere, on any computer, using any software that edits text files.
For more details on Fountain see http://fountain.io.
A demo is available on heroku for testing.
The simple version for parsing a screenplay text straight into HTML:
$input = "My fountain input text.";
$screenplay = new \Fountain\Screenplay();
$html = $screenplay->parse($input);The longer version is that Fountain first creates a collection of Elements, which you may use for other purposes. Once the Fountain Elements have been parsed, the FountainTags class determines the correct HTML tags to print.
$input = "My fountain input text.";
// determine fountain elements
$fountainElements = (new \Fountain\FountainParser())->parse($input);
// parse fountain elements into html
$html = (new \Fountain\FountainTags())->parse($fountainElements);The code has been built upon the previous work of these contributors.
