Notes on Fountain

Although a to letter implementation of Fountain is one of the major goals of Wrap, there are some subtleties where Wrap in Fountain mode behaves differently from other implementations.

End of title page

The spec only states that a title page ends after two empty lines. However, not all lines are valid in a title page, therefore we also assume that the title page has ended when an invalid line is encountered.

Empty lines after action lines

An empty line is a line with nothing on it or only one space, starting from version v0.3.0 we consider these lines unwanted (note that there is a margin between two consecutive segments).

Fountain specifies that all empty lines within an action segment should be considered deliberate, however nowhere is specified where action ends. Ignoring empty lines between action and another segment feels like the cleanest interpretation, as this allows you for instance to leave some more lines between action and the next slug line without risking breaking the layout.

I./E. can also start a scene

This one is also accepted in most implementations, although not explicitly stated in the specification.
