Mobile screenwriters

If you write screenplays on the move, you don't need a mobile app to get the format right. You can write in anything that saves a text file, import it later and your screenwriting program, like Celtx, will format it for you IF IF IF you use the following rule: disregard all tabs and regard faithfully all vertical spacing.

Thus, on your phone or tablet, a script would look like this:

INT. OFFICE - DAY

Charles at the keyboard on his tablet. A student stands behind him.

CHARLES
We just write as usual without using tabs.

STUDENT
That's awesome.

Charles writes something.

EXT. HOUSE - DAY

Outside the kidnappers take position.

Save as .txt text file, import to Celtx or whatever, and the format is reproduced properly. In many ways this is much easier than using the various apps out there. There's nothing to it! Really opens up possibilities.
