SpeXcript is a markup and layout system for scripts of theater plays or musicals etc. I originally made it for Fyysikkospeksi, a spex made every other year by mostly Engineering Physics undergraduate and graduate students at Aalto University. For now, it has only been for our internal use, but I am now (2015) releasing it for free and as open source. It would make me happy if someone else finds this useful.
Any feedback or suggestions are very welcome: koos.zevenhoven@aalto.fi.
- Python 3.4 (May work with older versions, but no official support)
pdflatex(For pdf output, pdflatex executable must be on the path)
spexcript can be installed with pi3, often pip3 for Python 3 (make sure you have it installed):
pip3 install spexcriptor directly from the source code:
git clone https://github.com/k7hoven/spexcript.git
cd spexcript
python3 setup.py installThe documentation for the markup language itself is on its way, but if you
have a spexcript file, say myspex.sxt, you can lay it out as pdf from the
command line as follows:
$ python -m spexcript myspex.sxtThe interface and documentation will be further improved in the future.
