{two spaces} support is missing #140

Closed KennethKo closed 3 years ago

KennethKo commented 3 years ago

The app doesn't appear to translate {two spaces} to a blank space in the context of dialogue. Indeed, I don't see the string "two spaces" anywhere in the afterwriting-labs code repo.

It's in the current version of the fountain.io spec (1.1 2014-03-14) here: https://fountain.io/syntax#section-br

It is supported. When you use two consecutive space characters (and nothing else in the same line) it will show up in the editor as a "non-breaking line":

ts-editor

It will allow you to render the dialogue like this:

ts-formatted

If you didn't put two spaces it'd render like "Hit or stand sir" was an action block, not dialogue, i.e.:

ts-formatted-2
