emacs-screenwriting-config

My Emacs config for screenwriting.

Emacs packages used: evil, fountain-mode, olivetti, hide-mode-line.

Other dependencies: Node.js, npm, Afterwriting CLI (pdf export), Courier Prime font.

Installation & Usage

1. Install Courier Prime font.
2. Clone the repository.
3. Install Afterwriting CLI: npm install afterwriting -g.
4. Create a directory that will serve as a separate emacs home directory for this config.
5. Move .emacs and afterwriting-config.js to the new directory.
6. Edit launch.sh: set the SCREENPLAYS_HOME variable to the path of the new directory.
7. Rename launch.sh to your liking and move it to your preferred directory for executables. Use it to launch emacs.
8. Add your customizations to .emacs and afterwriting-config.js.

Fountain-mode and olivetti should launch automatically upon opening a .fountain file. Saving a modified .fountain file should trigger a generation of a .pdf file for the screenplay.
