SpeXcript -- easy layout for theater scripts
Project description
SpeXcript – makes your spex script beautiful
SpeXcript is a markup and layout system for scripts of theater plays or musicals etc. I originally made it for Fyysikkospeksi, a spex made every other year by mostly Engineering Physics undergraduate and graduate students at Aalto University. For now, it has only been for our internal use, but I am now (2015) releasing it for free and as open source. It would make me happy if someone else finds this useful.
Any feedback or suggestions are very welcome: koos.zevenhoven@aalto.fi.
Getting Started
Requirements
Python 3.4+ (May work with older versions, but no official support)
Installation
spexcript can be installed with pip (make sure you have it installed):
$ pip install spexcript
or directly from the source code:
$ git clone https://github.com/k7hoven/spexcript.git
$ cd spexcript
$ python setup.py install
Basic Usage
The documentation for the markup language itself is on its way, but if you have a spexcript file, say myspex.sxt, you can lay it out as pdf from the command line as follows:
$ python -m spexcript myspex.sxt
The interface and documentation will be further improved in the future.
