Big thanks to the creators of this project for creating this program.

It would grateful for more control when outputting to PDF.

I used to use Atom and the Fountain Package offers many output options, although you have to go into package settings to tinker.

Print title page Show page numbers Embolden scene headers Print actions Print dialogue Print headers Print notes Print sections Print synopsis Double space between scenes Each scene on new page Dual dialogue Font family Head Footer Watermark

I'm not a programmer so I don't know what this would entail but just wanted to make the suggestion for future features.

Thank you

Hey thanks for the issue. Much of this is a duplicate of #39 and #29 so definitely look over there to join the discussion. Font family is sort of possible already, however you currently have to specify all the font files manually.

I have been thinking of opening up the internal formatting system (about 50% of your requests are fairly easy to implement but I'm reluctant to adding flags for the sake of it) being able to include a 'style file' would seem to give almost all the flexibility one could want.

It might take some time for me to find time for the project though.

The wiki includes a section on how to compile from source. You could change pdf/screenplay.go to your liking as a workaround :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks for your reply @elecprog

I understand that time is an issue. Learning Go is on my todo list so if I beat you to it, I'll definitely contribute.

If it's any encouragement, I added Wrap to my awesome-screenwriting-tools repo, which you would be welcome to contribute to.

@rubenxyz I'll close this one for now, considering it's mostly a duplicate of #39. If there are any options you feel aren't covered there (please also see the notes on feature bloat near the start of the thread :slightly_smiling_face:) you can open separate issues for them :slightly_smiling_face:
