Hi Mark,

It looks great. When I did similar with Macbeth, I was able to use the 
spreadsheet (and a lot of futzing) to add several fields to each line of 
the play - which might seem like overkill but it means that you can, for 
example, extract all the lines spoken by a particular character etc.

The primary key here is as simple as possible - every piece of dialog and 
direction gets a sequential integer.

As for the total size of the finished document, my advice would be "don't 
panic!" - most of the web pages we load every day are much bigger than even 
a fully-stuffed tiddlywiki. I was reading this slide-deck just the other 
day which you might be interested in;

"Let's take a look at the Apple page that explains iOS on the iPad Pro 
> <http://www.apple.com/ipad-pro/ios9/>. How big do you think this page is? 
> Would you believe that it's bigger than the entire memory capacity of the 
> iconic iMac? (32 MB)
> In fact, you could also fit the contents of the Space Shuttle Main 
> Computer. Not just for one Shuttle, but the entire fleet (5 MB).
> And you would still have room for a tricked out Macintosh SE... (5MB).
> ...and the collected works of Shakespeare... (5 MB)
> With lots of room to spare. The page is 51 megabytes big."


So, you see, if our file is only 10 or 20 times the size of our actual 
content, we are really doing quite well ;)

Regards,
Richard
