Version 1.3.1

This release introduced a bug that broke everything, fixed in
c3804ae5ca32487f5b2746fb268de5e5c0f75e22

- Changed default face for fountain-metadata-value to inherit from
  font-lock-comment-face.

Version 1.3.0

- Added support for automatic MORE and CONT'D when dialog breaks across
  pages in PDF output #19. Both of these strings are customizable.
- Adjustable widow and orphan lines for dialog and action. If you prefer
  not to break action or dialog across pages, increase these values
  (default 2).
- Combined fountain-export.el into fountain-mode.el to prevent
  byte-compile warnings.
- Removed FADE IN: from default list of transitions. Usually the opening
  FADE IN should be left justified, so I found myself always escaping it
  with ! but I figure it makes more sense to just omit it. You can add
  it back if you like or force the transition with >.
- Increased maximum element size to 10,000 characters.

Version 1.2.1

- Fixed #21 where very long blocks without blank lines could hang Emacs

Version 1.2.0

- A big rewrite of the way elements are handled to boost export speed.
  Elements are now given a fountain-element text property instead of
  just a face property. This means that Font Lock won't need to
  refontify the entire buffer on export, so if you've been working on a
  screenplay for a while, Font Lock will have already fontified most of
  the buffer in the background, making exporting take a couple of
  seconds. (On the other hand, if you open a Fountain file and export
  right away, or change any font settings that trigger
  font-lock-refresh-defaults then you'll still need to wait.)
- A big change to the faces used. In prior versions, there were
  fountain-ELEMENT faces and fountain-ELEMENT-highlight faces, but the
  former were mostly the default face. This slowed down Emacs. Now there
  are only fountain-ELEMENT faces, and they are applied as per the level
  of font-lock-maximum-decoration. For an explanation of which faces are
  used at which level of decoration, see the fountain-faces group
  documentation.
- Added support for emphasis (bold, italic, underlined text) and the
  ability to toggle the visibility of the emphasis delimiters.
- Also added a toggle for visibility of escaping characters (e.g. as
  used in forced scene headings, centered text, forced transitions,
  etc.).
- Added the "Navigator" (occur) functions to the menu.
- Scene navigation and selection now adheres to section headings (not
  sure if this is right way to go?)
- A big cleanup of documentation.
- Added the README content to the header Commentary
- Combined a few functions for efficiency.

There's currently a workaround for the implementation of visibility
toggling: if the mode starts with buffer-visibility-spec set to t it
would cause a bunch of things to become invisible (unwanted). If this is
the case the variable is set to nil. However, this is not foolproof, so
I'll continue testing it. If you experience any issues with things
becoming invisible when they shouldn't, please let me know on the
[Issues](https://github.com/rnkn/fountain-mode/issues/) page.

Version 1.1.1

- Fixed issue #14 where minor modes could interfere with export fontify
- Fixed issue where refreshing continued dialog could result in endless
  loop
- Fixed possible issue setting mark and point in templates
- Character is now p element instead of h3 to prevent PDF readers
  hanging
- authors metadata is now author by default to increase compatibility
  with HTML and PDF

Version 1.1.0

- Added a navigator for sections, synopses, notes or scene headings (M-s
  1 M-s 2 M-s 3 and M-s 4 respectively) using occur.
- Option to include or omit a title page, which is useful if you just
  want to export a couple of scenes (by narrowing the buffer restriction
  to the desired selection).
- Title page templates are now split into three blocks: title, left and
  right. You can put whatever you like in these, and use any metadata
  keys you like.
- Added the "forced action" specification, so anything preceded with a !
  will be treated as action (the ! is stripped on export).
- You can now see that Emacs is working away while adding continued
  dialog markers, which is especially useful when applying to an entire
  feature screenplay.
- Renamed "centered" elements to "center" elements.
- Removed some useless custom options for naming buffers that are never
  seen (who needs that?)
- Other minor fixes.

Version 1.0.0

- The big addition is the ability to export to HTML or PDF (via HTML,
  requires [Prince][1]
- Reading metadata (sets buffer-local variable fountain-metadata as an
  association list of key-value pairs of anything given in metadata
  syntax at the beginning of the buffer.)
- Title page export with customizable template using metadata values
- Export scene headings as bold, underlined and/or double-spaced
  (distinct from Font Lock display)
- Customizable default export command
- Customizable CSS
- Optionally convert TeX-style quotes to "smart quotes" on export
- Optionally indent HTML output
- Templates can now set the point and mark
- Fixed a whole host of regular expression bugs and inefficiencies
- Depreciated: there is no longer a distinction between forced scene
  headings and regular, a scene heading is a scene heading.

Version 0.13.0

- Rather large overhaul of internals, which should make everything a lot
  faster (for the curious, indenting elements is now covered completely
  by Font Lock).
- Fixed a recently introduced bug that would leave trailing whitespace
  when removing continuing dialog markers.
- Some regular expression improvements.
- Some small syntax highlighting changes improvements (to pave the way
  for exporting, which is coming along very soon!)
- Added a ${title} template key, if you were really hanging out for
  that...
- Unfortunately, due to the internal rewrite, centered text is now not
  _really_ centered :(

Version 0.12.1

- Improvements to documentation.
- Minor bug fixes and optimizations.

Version 0.12.0

- Syntax colors have arrived. Almost everything now has a face, and
  these are now mapped to vaguely appropriate Font Lock faces (e.g.
  scene headings: font-lock-function-face) so you'll be able to switch
  Emacs themes at whim.
- Syntax highlighting levels. Switch highlighting levels between none,
  minimal and maximum.
- Removed the clean margins feature, which is implemented better in
  [writeroom-mode][1]
- Lots of little bug fixes and optimizations.

This will probably be the last update before version 1.0, in which I'm
hoping to finally have export (to HTML) functionality!
