Thank you for this beautiful extension! What a delight!

I was really impressed by how the https://quoteunquoteapps.com/weekendread/ app works. It lets you read screenplays on a smartphone, without the soul-sucking pain of pinching in and out of a PDF file. For me it was a great mix of ease of use combined with the standard way of screenplays.

So I decided to throw together a PHP script to convert my .fountain files to such HTML, so that I could just share screenplay links with friends, and they could ready them with the same ease, as I had discovered on the https://quoteunquoteapps.com/weekendread/ app.

Given the kind of fanboy I am of VSCode, I was like- lets see what is out there, and that's when I found your plugin, installed it immediately, and LOVED it.

Thanks for making this man. I look forward to sending some pull requests your way soon.

Here is the quick and dirty PHP I was on my way with before I found your plugin.

<?php

// Define various things a line could be.
define('MIN_VALUE', '0.0'); 


define('UNKNOWN_LINE_TYPE', 0);
define('EMPTY_LINE', 1);
define('SCENE_HEADING', 2);
define('CHARACTER', 3);
define('DIALOGUE', 4);
define('ACTION_LINE', 5);
define('TRANSITION', 6);

$code = [
    'UNKNOWN_LINE_TYPE',
    'EMPTY_LINE',
    'SCENE_HEADING',
    'CHARACTER',
    'DIALOGUE',
    'ACTION_LINE',
    'TRANSITION',
];

$filepath = "/Users/sumeetpareek/github/[masked this part of the path]/main-draft.fountain";
$lines = file($filepath, FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES);
$line_type = [];

// Do not proceed if the first line is not empty.
if (!empty($lines[0])) {
    die("First line of the input file must be an empty line.\n\n");
}
$line_type[0] = EMPTY_LINE;

// Iterate on every line to set their line_type.
for ($curr_line_num = 1; $curr_line_num < count($lines); $curr_line_num++) {
    $curr_line = $lines[$curr_line_num];

    if (empty($curr_line)) {
        $line_type[$curr_line_num] = EMPTY_LINE;
        continue;
    }

    if (substr($curr_line, 0, 1) === "." || substr($curr_line, 0, 3) === "EXT" || substr($curr_line, 0, 3) === "INT") {
        $line_type[$curr_line_num] = SCENE_HEADING;
        continue;
    }

    if (substr($curr_line, 0, 2) === "> " || (strtoupper($curr_line) == $curr_line && substr($curr_line, -1) == ":")) {
        $line_type[$curr_line_num] = TRANSITION;
        continue;
    }

    if (strtoupper($curr_line) == $curr_line) {
        $line_type[$curr_line_num] = CHARACTER;
        continue;
    }

    if ($line_type[$curr_line_num - 1] == CHARACTER) {
        $line_type[$curr_line_num] = DIALOGUE;
        continue;
    }

    // Or if none of those then it is an action line.
    $line_type[$curr_line_num] = ACTION_LINE;
}

// Print every line_type and line.
for ($curr_line_num = 0; $curr_line_num < count($lines); $curr_line_num++) {
    $key = $line_type[$curr_line_num];
    print "\n(( $code[$key] )) ". $lines[$curr_line_num]; 
}

I'm glad you like it! A lot of credit should go to Piotr Jamróz and Matt Daly who wrote afterwriting and fountain-js, which this extension is heavily based upon.

Also, thanks for the code, but I know very little about php and the extension is written fully in typescript :/

(P.S. don't forget you can always leave ratings on the visual studio marketplace :P)
