fountainview 1.0.3

Flutter Plugin for viewing Fountain markup documents on Android and iOS.

FountainView

FountainView is a Flutter plugin used for renderering for viewing Fountain screenplay documents. It takes a single string and displays the formatted document in a widget.

This Flutter Plugin created using the Xamarin library FountainSharp written in F#.

This is possible with the use of Embeddinator-4000 which allow the creation of native libraries from Xamarin .NET libraries. The native Android (.aar) and iOS (Frameowork) is then embedded in a Flutter Plugin that can then be reused in any Flutter application.

Usage

Usage is very straigt forward simply construct a new FountainView widget and provide it with a string containing valid Fountain Markup text.

new FountainView(fountainText)

The text will be parsed and converted to HTML and displayed as using the flutter_html plugin.

Note I plan to switch to the recently released official webview_flutter once it is stable.

FountainSharp is an F# based Fountain Markdown processor for use via .NET/Xamarin projects. FoutainSharp parses Fountain-formatted scripts and loads them into model that can be transformed or used for WYSIWYG editing.

It ships with a sample transformation engine that transforms Fountain markdown into HTML.
