A digest of interesting markup languages.

Simplescript

Writing a screenplay-formatted blog post should be extremely simple. Simple Script Markup (SSM) uses very simple rules to decide on various screenplay elements.

EXT. PLAYGROUND

This is action text.  This is meant to describe what is happening in the scene.  In this scene, CHARACTER 1 and CHARACTER 2 are having a conversation about SSM.

 CHARACTER 1:
 Did you notice the space before my name, as well as the space before this dialogue?

 CHARACTER 2:
 (annoyed)
 Of course I noticed.  That's how SSM works.

CUT TO:

INT. OFFICE

Some other stuff happens, and it's funny because office dynamics are hysterical.
