Fountain is a free and open-source plain text markup language that makes it possible to write a formatted screenplay in any text editor, on any device, using any software that edits text files.[1]

Fountain (which got its name from Fountain Avenue, the famous Hollywood shortcut[2]) was inspired by John Gruber’s Markdown, and has its origins in two different and non-related projects: Scrippets, developed by John August and Nima Yousefi, and Screenplay Markdown, developed by Stu Maschwitz.

History

In 2004, John August, who has written four screenplays for Tim Burton,[3] was looking for a Markdown-like syntax for formatting text documents into screenplay form. In 2008, he and Yousefi released Scrippets, a plug-in for WordPress and other platforms that allowed users to embed short sections of a screenplay in blog posts and forums, using formatting hinted from plain text.[4]

At the same time, Maschwitz, software director of Red Giant Software and co-founder of The Orphanage, was working on a similar but more extensive project, Screenplay Markdown, that allowed plain text to be interpreted into a screenplay format.[5]

When August and Maschwitz realized they were both working on similar text-based screenplay formats, they decided to merge their projects, and the result was Fountain. [6][7][8]

Implementations

Fountain has since been implemented in several popular text editors, word processors and screenwriting applications, such as BBEdit, Emacs, [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jotterpad.x JotterPad], [9] Scrivener, Slugline, Storyist, Sublime Text, Visual Studio Code, TextWrangler, Trelby, Vim, [https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/writer/id1046973568?mt=12 Writer] and many others.
