| - | **TL;DR** \\ | ||
| - | Looking for a "normal" screenwriting application that will make you forget you aren't using the one you are used to? Trelby is what you are looking for. | ||
| - | </WRAP> | ||
| - | |||
| - | [[http://trelby.org|Trelby]] is a free word processor for screenplays, Trelby is an application with all the usual features of a screenwriting application, including a character name database, basic scene reporting, PDF exporting, and more. | ||

| - | **Comfortable** | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP indent> | ||
| - | Trelby is one of those applications that looks familiar and feels comfortable whether or not you have even opened a screenplay application before. It's exactly what you expect from a screenwriting application; it has all of the essential features and none of the bloat. | ||

| - | **Not Closed Source** | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP indent> | ||
| - | There are only a few really popular screenwriting applications out there, so some users are very much "married" to the one application they learned in school and will accept //nothing// in substitute. Trelby (or anything else, for that matter) will not please such a user. | ||

| - | Install Trelby from [[http://slackbuilds.org]]. | ||

| - | ===== Usage ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Trelby truly is an intuitive application. If you have used a word processor, you will feel at home with Trelby. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The advantage to using a dedicated screenwriting application is that all | ||
| - | standard formatting is applied automatically for you, with minimal amounts of | ||
| - | interaction. Character names are remembered for you and auto-completion | ||
| - | simplifies concerns, for instance, about whether you called that day player | ||
| - | "Evil Henchman" or just "Henchman". | ||
| - | |||
| - | [{{ trelby.jpg?666 | Trelby and an imported screenwriter-mode file. }}] | ||
| - | |||
| - | Of all the applications in multimedia, screenwriting applications are the least | ||
| - | likely to require cross-compatibility. Unless you are collaborating with | ||
| - | another writer, you will probably never send out the project file. Since Trelby | ||
| - | can export to PDF, it's probably everything you need in a screenwriting | ||
| - | application. | ||
| - | |||
| - | On the other hand, Trelby supports two major platforms, and exports to a number of universal formats (including [[fountain]]). | ||
| - | |||
| - | Trelby can import Fountain files. | ||
