Preview · Screenplay
Fountain is the open plain-text screenplay format. Type plainly; these light rules do the formatting.
| Scene heading | Line starts with INT. / EXT. (or force any line with a leading .) |
| Action | Just write normally. Anything not matched below is action. |
| Character | A line in ALL CAPS on its own, with dialogue beneath it. JORDAN (V.O.) |
| Parenthetical | A line in (parentheses) under a character. |
| Dialogue | The line(s) right below a character, no blank line between. |
| Transition | ALL CAPS ending in TO:, or force with > at the start. |
| Centered | Wrap in angle brackets: >THE END< |
| Emphasis | *italic* **bold** _underline_ |
| Page break | Three or more equals on a line: === |
| Title page | At the very top: Title: Credit: Author: then a blank line. |
