Hi,
I think support for screenplay formatting would be a useful feature to add. Like to how comments or quotes are done, it could be in between the tags: #+BEGIN_SCREENPLAY and #+END_SCREENPLAY. I think using the markdown used by Fountain would make the most sense.
For example, a section could look like:
#+BEGIN_SCREENPLAY
INT./EXT. BLOOM HOUSE - (PRESENT) DAY
The front door opens to reveal Will and Josephine on the porch with their bags. REVERSE to Will's mother Sandra (53), surprised and a little annoyed.
SANDRA
How did you get here?
WILL
We swam. The Atlantic, it's not that big really.
#+END_SCREENPLAY
Thanks,Fionn Stephens

May you please elaborate? What is screenplay? Is it a markup format?
What do you mean by support? Export? Font-lock? Something else?

How do you usually export to fountain PDF?
Org mode relies on LaTeX to produce PDF output. Is it possible to have
Fountain blocks in LaTeX?

I just found a python package that can convert fountain markdown to LaTeX: https://pypi.org/project/fountain/.
And this is a LaTeX package that can create screenplays: https://ctan.org/pkg/screenplay?lang=en.
The Fountain Mode in emacs can use different backends, but I use Afterwriting: https://afterwriting.com/.

Fountain is a Markdown-inspired plain text format for screenplays
(https://fountain.io/).
There exists a fountain-mode major mode for Emacs.
To my mind, Org should not support every kind of markup/markdown format
there is, but to the extent Fountain is the best format for screenplays,
and Org is good for organizing bits of screenplays, I think maybe using
Org-babel src blocks is the way to go?
Even without a dedicated ob-fountain package to support it, it can be
used today for tangling screenplays from blocks of Fountain format with
noweb syntax, editing blocks in fountain-mode, some limited syntax
highlighting etc.
Yours,
Christian

I mostly agree, but wouldn't it be nice to support something other than
just LaTeX fragments? That's why I was asking about more details.

Sure. It is not exactly same with what Fionn asked for though.
Also, syntax highlighting in fountain src blocks should work with
engrave-faces.

Hi. You can use org-blocks like this with fountain-mode:
- https://github.com/rnkn/fountain-mode
#+begin_src fountain
INT./EXT. BLOOM HOUSE - (PRESENT) DAY
The front door opens to reveal Will and Josephine on the porch with their bags. REVERSE to
Will's mother Sandra (53), surprised and a little annoyed.
SANDRA
How did you get here?
WILL
We swam. The Atlantic, it's not that big really.
#+end_src
Best,
Bruno.

Thanks a million. I didn't know you could do that.
And apologies all for the bad email formatting, I'll try to change it to plain text.
