| # Screenplay Format Edge Cases |
|
|
| 48 original Fountain specimens in 24 contrast pairs — two near-identical inputs |
| per pair, at the points where the Fountain syntax leaves a choice. In 17 pairs |
| the one difference changes how the lines are classified. In the other 7 it |
| changes the surface and the labels hold: a lowercase scene prefix, a cue |
| extension, a non-Latin cue, escaped characters, a dual-dialogue caret, an inline |
| note and centered-text markers. |
|
|
| **Version:** 1.0.0 · **Maintainer:** Inkwell. |
|
|
| Built by [Inkwell](https://www.inkwell.software/?utm_source=huggingface&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=observatory&utm_content=screenplay_format_edge_cases_card_home), the IDE for screenwriters. |
| Paste Fountain into the [Fountain validator](https://www.inkwell.software/tools/fountain-validator?utm_source=huggingface&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=observatory&utm_content=screenplay_format_edge_cases_card_validator) |
| to see the scenes, character cues, dialogue and action it recognizes. |
|
|
| ## What's included |
|
|
| `data/cases.jsonl` holds all 48 records; `schema.json` is a JSON Schema for one |
| record. Each record carries the Fountain input, its expected line-level element |
| types, the contrast pair it belongs to, and a short rationale for the expected |
| labels. |
|
|
| ## Provenance |
|
|
| Every specimen is original Fountain written for Inkwell and released under |
| CC0-1.0. |
|
|
| ## How the labels work |
|
|
| The expected labels are line-level screenplay element types. A pair shares a |
| `pair_id`, and `split_group` repeats it: keep both variants of a pair in the same |
| split, because the point of a pair is the single difference between its two |
| inputs. |
|
|
| Forty-two of the 48 specimens fall inside the subset a demonstration Fountain |
| parser implements, and `supported_by_demo` marks which. The other six use dual |
| dialogue, a note, boneyard, a section, lyrics and centered text — valid Fountain |
| that the demonstration exporter stops on rather than guessing. The flag records |
| one implementation's coverage. |
|
|
| Two more things the labels assume: an FDX paragraph can group adjacent action or |
| dialogue lines, so a paragraph count can differ from the line-level label count; |
| and a forced-element marker (`!`, `@`, `.`, `>`) is syntax, not rendered text. |
|
|
| ## What it's for |
|
|
| Teaching the syntax contrasts, building regression tests, and watching which |
| single edit changes how a line is classified. Extend it with your own cases as |
| your parser grows. |
|
|
| ## Load the records |
|
|
| ```python |
| from datasets import load_dataset |
| cases = load_dataset("Inkwell-Software/screenplay-format-edge-cases", split="test") |
| print(cases[0]) |
| ``` |

| Cite "Inkwell, Screenplay Format Edge Cases, version 1.0.0"; the machine-readable |
| form is in [`CITATION.cff`](./CITATION.cff). |
|
|
| ## Maintenance |
|
|
| Open a discussion with the case ID, the expected behavior, the observed behavior, |
| and the relevant part of the [Fountain spec](https://fountain.io/syntax/). A |
| change to expected labels is a version increment and a changelog entry. |
