Scriptigo File Format

While Scriptigo can import a variety of file formats, it uses Fountain as the main format. Fountain is an open industry standard for scripts and just works if you begin typing. However, it differs from plain text files in that special formatting is supported if you want it. If you're under-geeky you can dive into the Fountain syntax for more advanced features, but they're not necessary. Here's an example of a script and how it looks when Scriptigo processes the text.
