Boneyard and multiline notes work fine

[RichardDooling]

It says on your front page that boneyards and multiline comments are not supported.

They work fine for me. Thank you and great job.

I like Highland alright but it drives me nuts that it isn't command line.

Thank you for making this.

I've updated the readme. Thanks for pointing that out.

And thanks for your kind words. I'm glad someone aside from me is actually using this thing! Let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement.

Oliver,

Only possible suggestion is to consider making textplay work with pdflatex instead of Prince? It would be one less thing to install for those of us who already have pdflatex installed. I am a Python person not Ruby and just a hobbyist, but the next time I'm in the mood for some programming I'll tamper with it and see if I can figure out how to make it use pdflatex instead of Prince.

Thanks again.

Rick

Disregard the last dumb idea. Besides Prince is nice and I had never heard of it. I will review Textplay soon. It makes much more intelligent pagebreak decisions than Highland does. And Highland is still buggy, even in version 1.5. In fact, if you could get the title page to work in textplay you could turn in a script after converting with this program. No need for Final Draft.

Here's what I do: I create the title-page I want in Pages, then export it as a PDF, then just add that page to the PDF Prince creates (using Preview). I want to be able to make my title pages unique (fonts, layout), so even if I could use Fountain's title-page support I probably wouldn't.

Whoah!

I didn't know you could add a page using Preview!?

I'll explore!

Yeah, just drag-and-drop onto the PDF's thumbnail drawer. You can also delete and reorder pages.

Also, I already experimented with adding other key value pairs elsewhere in
the doc. By some magic that Ruby Regex grabs only the first one!

In my fork, shouldn't I put at the top of the README that it's just my own
primitive hacks of your program, or do they already know that?
