EXT. ANCIENT ROME - DAY
ANTONIUS and IPSUM are walking down a tiny, crowded street.
ANTONIUS
Do you think in a thousand years, anyone will remember our names?
IPSUM
Not yours. But they’ll know mine. Because I intend to write something so profound that it will be remembered for the ages. Designers in the 20th Century call for Lorem Ipsum whenever they need to fill text blocks.
Make a scene online.
Whether you write movies or television — or write about them — it's often helpful to be able to include short blocks of dialogue and scene description. Unfortunately, most blogging and forum systems make it difficult.
Let's change that.
With Scrippets, you can add boxes of nicely-formatted script to your blog. It even works in comments.
As simple as we could make it.
To add a scrippet, just type your text, beginning with [scrippet] and ending with [/scrippet]. Character names, scene headers and transitions need to be in UPPERCASE. Everything else is done for you.
For the example above, you would write...
[scrippet]

The Scrippets plug-in will do the rest, generating the markup and CSS to make it look good.
Try it out.
“Traditional” scrippets, with the [scrippet][/scrippet] markup, are now available for the following systems:
In addition, you can use the interactive Scrippets Maker to generate markup for other systems that allow you to modify the CSS, including…
- Movable Type
- TypePad
- Wordpress.com
- Tumblr
- and many others
