+About Screenplain
+=================
+
+You're a hacker. The command line is your home. You know tools like grep, sed
+and Git inside out. You have formed a symbiotic relationship with your text
+editor. Those tools are powerful in the right hands. But you're also a
+screenwriter. Screenwriting is much like programming. It's about structure and
+form, and -- obviously -- about reading, writing and modifying huge amounts of
+text. You don't want to use software that lacks the power of your hacking
+tools just because you're writing a screenplay instead of a shell script.
+
+Enter Screenplain.
+
+Screenplain allows you to write a screenplay as a plain text file using
+a format called [Fountain](http://fountain.io). Text files
+are simple and supported by all text manipulation software. It's not just for
+hackers, too. The simplicity of plain text allows you to easily view and edit
+them on devices such as tablets and phones. No need for specific screenwriting
+software.
+
+The magic that Screenplain performs is to take your plain text file and
+convert it to a good looking screenplay in an industry standard format.
+Send that file off to your producer, agent, director or screenwriting
+competition. Currently, the supported output formats are FDX and HTML.
+PDF will hopefully be supported in a not too distant future.
+
+Screenplain can be used as a command-line application or a library.
+An [Online version of Screenplain](http://www.screenplain.com) is also
+available.
+
+Note that Screenplain is under development and is missing features and
+the master branch may not always work. I'm currently working on supporting
+the whole [Fountain](http://fountain.io) specification. (Fountain
+was previously known as "Screenplay Markdown" or "SPMD.")
+
+Installing
+==========
+
+    pip install screenplain
+
+To enable PDF output, install with the PDF extra (installs ReportLab):
+
+    pip install 'screenplain[PDF]'
+
+Credits
+=======
+
+Screenplain was coded by [Martin Vilcans](http://www.librador.com).
+
+The CSS code that formats Screenplain's HTML output as something that
+looks as much as a printed screenplay as is possible in HTML was
+created by [Jonathan Poritsky](http://www.candlerblog.com/).
+
+The [Fountain](http://fountain.io) file format is the result of a
+collaboration between [Stu Maschwitz](http://prolost.com) and
+[John August](http://johnaugust.com/).
+

+License

+    . .venv/bin/activate
+    pip install -r requirements.txt
+    pip install -e .
+
+After this, the `screenplain` command will use the working copy of your code.
