Although "Script/Stage play" is an option for a static item, there are no really suitable tags for script formatting. Here are a few that I would like to see:
{char} {/char} around character names would automatically centralise the text, and put it in ALL CAPS
{dialogue} {/dialogue} would have a similar effect to {quote} {/quote}, but indent the lines on BOTH sides by a good two or three inches.
{action} {/action} would also indent the paragraph on both sides, but only by one inch.
Everything else can be done using the existing tags, such as {b} {/b} and {u} {/u}.
Just a thought that might bring more script writers here, rather than to Scripped.Com or Five Sprockets.
Also, would it be possible to 'nest' {quote} {/quote} tags, so that there can be quotes within quotes? That would be useful to me in many different items.
The following section applies to this forum item as a whole,
