Writers
These transformers, known as Custom Pandoc Writers, are responsible for reading your comic script, and writing them into a new format. Commonly, the versatile .TSV (Tab Separated Value) document.
They're instructions commonly written in the programming language .LUA, as Pandoc comes with a built-in LUA interpreter, meaning no additional downloads are needed to write, or utilize them.

My goal is to make (and encourage others to contribute?) multiple Writers to cover the different kinds of ways people format and strusture their comic scripts.
The first, and hopefully not last, writer. For those that like to measure twice and cut once.
It's inspired by Steenz's Standard Comic Script and works well with that structure, given that in word processing apps, you use styles instead of styling the script elements manually line-by line.
Try it with:
- MS Word
.DOCX - LibreOffice
.ODT - Markdown
.MD
[!info] If you're using Google Docs, ensure you're using styles instead of manual styling. Then, download as one of the above filetypes.
| Element | Notes |
|---|---|
| Pages | Should share a unique heading level. Can be auto-numbered by the writer. Alternatively, the writer can pull page numbers from your comic script. |
| Lettering Sources | Should share a unique heading level. The name of the heading label becomes the name of the lettering source. |
| Lettering Lines | Should be: • automatically ordered lists (no manual, typed-text numbering), • block quotes, • or paragraphs more indented than previous line. |
