Screenplay Interoperability Fixtures

Test how screenplay files travel between tools. Sixteen original fictional Fountain and Final Draft (FDX) cases cover dialogue, formatting, revision marks, locked pages, and other details writers need to keep.

This is a mirror of Inkwell's screenplay-interop collection. The original inputs, expectations, case guides, copyright notices, and schemas keep their file paths and bytes. source.json records the exact public commit and each source file's SHA-256.

Built by Inkwell, the IDE for writers. Read the interoperability guide, inspect a file with FDX Inspector, or compare drafts with Screenplay Diff.

Start with a case

Open fdx-locked-pages, import its input.fdx into your tool, and compare the result with its expected.json. Export again to test the round trip. Record your tool's version and this dataset's source commit alongside the result.

The collection covers core Fountain elements, title pages, dual dialogue, forced elements, notes and outlines, Unicode, centered text, FDX revision sets, locked and inserted pages, scene numbers, omitted scenes, custom styles, malformed XML, missing revision sets, and character-name variants.

Load the viewer records

import json
from datasets import load_dataset

cases = load_dataset("Inkwell-Software/screenplay-interop-fixtures", split="test")
case = cases[0]
print(case["id"], case["input_path"])
expectations = json.loads(case["expected_json"])

Each row contains id, format, input_path, the original input text, expected_json, the case readme, copyright, and source_commit. expected_json is the unchanged source JSON serialized as text, so cases with different expectation fields fit the same viewer columns. Decode it using the source expectation schema. The raw files are also available under fixtures/ for file-based test suites.

The test split groups published cases; it is not a held-out benchmark. Some files are intentionally malformed to exercise error handling. Expectations describe what to check, not measured compatibility results for a particular app. Use the public repository's runner for schema and fixture validation.

License and citation

The original fictional fixtures and schemas are MIT licensed. Each case retains its authorship notice. Cite the public repository using CITATION.cff, and include the source commit from source.json so another reader can reproduce your test. Fixture changes belong in the public repository; subsequent mirrors preserve its IDs and schemas.
