Plywood

At last, a simple to use playwright tool! Not at all documented admittedly and looking very incomplete but it seems to work okay. Plywood is a python script that works with latex to format a simple text file and turn it into a PDF laid out according to the Samuel French style. It’s horribly incomplete but it’s a great idea and it seems to work. It also includes emacs bindings to make it even easier, but I’m using SubEthaEdit for now and I already know vi so learning emacs seems like to much work now. An example script would be something like: title: Example Script author: Adrian Sutton characters: Adrian Sutton (AJ) – A very excited new user of plywood. newact: setting: AJ’s office. AJ – [jumping up from his computer] Woooooooo! I found a playwright tool that’s not ridiculously complex. (AJ jumps up and down in excitement then runs off to find a beer to celebrate.) The actual package contains an example that’s even worse than that….
