SYNOPSIS

fountain2json OPTIONS

DESCRIPTION

fountain2json is a command line program that reads an fountain document and returns a JSON representation of it.

The result has a TitlePage list and an Elements list. Each element has a “type” number, a “name” (for example “Scene Heading”, “Action”, “Dialogue” or “Boneyard”), and its “content”. A scene heading also has “scene_number” when the heading ends in a number written as #12A#; the heading’s content keeps the number. A boneyard, a block of cut material between /* and */ on one line or several, is one “Boneyard” element.
