A recent alternative for screenplays is the Markdown-like [https://fountain.io/ Fountain], an open standard supported by most screenwriting and production tools. However, Fountain cannot yet fully replace Final Draft files for production software, because text wrapping in Fountain is app-dependent, and page breaks are therefore not guaranteed to be consistent. | A recent alternative for screenplays is the Markdown-like [https://fountain.io/ Fountain], an open standard supported by most screenwriting and production tools.

Some Free/Libre and Open-Source alternatives that one can use are [https://starc.app/ Story Architect], or [https://www.trelby.org/ Trelby], as they both allow those not wanting to use proprietary screenwriting software, even though they may not fully replace Final Draft. Trelby is supported by Fountain per the [https://fountain.io/apps/ Apps section] as one of the many screenplay formats supporting Fountain as of version 2.4, the latest version at the time of writing. | |||
