: Re: Are there any free programs for screen writers Screenwriting has a very strict format that Microsoft Word cannot fully match. Are there any good screenwriting word processors out there that are

Any text editor can be made completely functional using a Markdown-like syntax called Fountain (info at fountain.io), which is similar to the formatting standard used here on *Exchange.

The simple markup language was designed by a team including Stu Maschwitz (who made Han Solo step on Jabba's tail in Star Wars for crying out loud) and John August, screenwriter of Go, Big Fish, Charlieâ€™s Angels, Titan A.E., Charlie and Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride and Frankenweenie.

Long story short, it was designed by people in the industry for people in the industry. The comparison of the raw text and the resulting PDF output of the screenplay for Big Fish on the Fountain website shows how it works.
