Ciao Jan *Is your screenwriting plugin somewhere I can take a look so I can better understand your approach?*
Regarding parsers for what we need. The more I think about it the clearer it gets to me that what is needed is *a "Generic" parser *that you can quickly add codes to. For instance, in what I am currently working on the markup codes are something like this ... :s:7 INT. - PARK HUT - NIGHT :a Baxter enters carrying Perry Mason. :c BAXTER :p (coughs) :d Paul, are you there? Perry had an accident. To get those lines converted to HTML is quite easy using regular expressions. But I DON'T think the specific regexes should be individually "HARD CODED" into Javascript. Rather, we should devise a* Markup that is extensible* so you could apply the same method for potentially laying out many types of document. In short, we need *a method by which a user could easily add new codes*. I'm also thinking there could easily be LONG-FORM codes that a user could use till they learned the SHORT-FORM (above) ... For example ... :scene:7 INT. - PARK HUT - NIGHT :action Baxter enters carrying Perry Mason. :character BAXTER :parenthetical (coughs) :dialogue Paul, are you there? Perry had an accident. In addition, add-hoc markup could allow CONVERSION markup to be built -- Like being able to convert back & forth with Fountain markup. And also to be able to at least part convert plain text screenplays to a TW format. I'm working on a demo using Skeeve to illustrate those issues. It will take me a few more days to finish it. I'm hoping, after that, we'll be able to say *more precisely* what we asking of the JavaScript department. Just today's thoughts.
