Dialogue line numbers?
When working with an actor (and also when taking voice or text notes for edits) it's often useful to refer to a specific line of dialogue in a script. Might this be considered as a new rendering option?
On the printed page, this would render as sequential numbers somewhere on the same line as the character's name with each chunk of dialogue:
14 ROBERT:
I've told you a thousand times, I do not care for
sea urchins.
15 WALTER:
Given our current situation, I hardly think we can
afford to picky!
16 ROBERT:
Listen Walt, I'm a kelp man - through and through!
My father was a kelp man, and his father before him.
Scene numbering would also be useful.
For what output? In the HTML output, I think this may be doable using CSS only.
Personally, I usually distribute scripts as PDF. The more I think about it, I would probably be better off publishing in HTML to the project website and pass links around instead of documents!
But I assume you'd want to support this for all output formats?
