Emacs Tools for Screenplays (2014)

I'm the author of Fountain Mode[1]. I bumped it to the top of the list because it's the probably what the majority of the Emacs screenwriters out there are using, maybe even all five of them.

Fountain Mode is awesome. I use it for all my screenplays. Thanks!

One suggestion: I have use Org Mode to store all my brainstorming, outline and other relevant information. I think it would be wonderful if I integrated it with the script somehow.

Thanks :) You can do

  #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE fountain
  BOB
  Hello world!
  
  ALICE
  Yeah hi Bob.
  #+END_EXAMPLE

and you’ll get fountain aligning/highlighting. I’m not a big org user, so I’d need suggestions on how else people want to integrate. HMU in the Github issues.
