Hi,
I get many scripts are PDFs - usually from Final Draft or Celtix - but in any case as PDFs and formatted in the highly stylized way that the film industry have created over the decades.
Obviously the format is very different from normal books and so using tools such as Calibre (which is fantastic by the way) are fraught as the formatting is munged as the expectations are of the format are wrong.
It would seem to be as an outsider that creating a tool to take a PDF and knowing the likely format create a much better EPUB version which more closely follows the conventional formatting:
Scene Heading
Scene description left justified
Name of Character
Dialog - with a 25% (?) margin each side
Film scripts are always in monospaced courier and characters are all upper case as are scene locations.
So does anyone have any ideas how to take this simple format and create a similarly simple conversion to EPUB with Calibre.
All thoughts gratefully received.
Alan
