Scrippets

Scrippets is a text format designed by screenwriter John August to allow writers to input part of a screenplay in easy-to-write plain text and have it converted to properly styled HTML.

This mod will convert any Scrippets BB Code blocks into formatted HTML, and will automatically append John August's Scrippets CSS code to the board's HTML header.

Tested and functioning up to vBulletin 3.8.3

For more info on Scrippets please see the following:

What's New In This Version

Bug and compatibility fixes.

Installation

1. Install the attached product XML via the Product Manager.
2. Use.

Usage

Scrippets raw are entered as such:


INT. HOUSE - DAY

MARY yells across the hall to FRANK.

MARY
Anything you want to tell me?

FRANK (O.S.)
I swear, honey, I don't know how mayonnaise got in the piano.

CUT TO:

FRANK

running out of the bathroom.

FRANK
(terrified)
There are bees in the toliet!


Please note that proper line spacing is needed for the parser to function correctly.

Update

We've added support for bold, italic, and underlining text into Scrippets, but unfortunately you can't use BBCode to do it (at least not yet). The markup is as follows:

Bold = **text**
Italic = *text*
Underlined = _text_

Hopefully, we'll get BBCode support in there as well.

Enjoy!

Well, did you use any digital alarm clocks? :p

This is exactly what I needed for one of my forums. Thanks! :)
