How this pair works
Your Word DOCX file is parsed into a canonical screenplay model (by verified content, not just the file extension), then rendered as Fountain. Fountain background: Created in 2012 by John August and Stu Maschwitz as a common denominator syntax so screenwriters could write in any text editor and move between tools without lock-in.
