You can export Fountain -> LaTeX -> PDF, but a better way to convert Fountain -> PDF is to install afterwriting package via npm. Then use fountain-export-shell-command
(which is setup to use afterwriting by default).
Okay then, I'll try this package. I was trying to avoid installing npm on my system, it wasn't very easy last time. Thanks ;)
Afterwriting works great! Since this is a package targeting non-programmers, may I suggest adding some brief, laymen friendly instructions on how to install and use this package?
The only thing is I actually don't know how to install node/npm on systems other than macOS. But Fountain Mode is actually now part of GNU ELPA and maintained by Free Software Foundation so anyone may propose a change via the mailing lists here: https://savannah.gnu.org/mail/?group=emacs (This repo should probably be converted to a mirror.)
I understand. I started drafting something in the direction I proposed. Should I make a pull request, or send it to the mailing list? I never used those, to be honest.
Everything really should go to the GNU ELPA repo. PR's here will not be reflected within Emacs.
I understand this package do not export directly to PDF, so how should I proceed to accomplish this while preserving formatting at the same time?
