Every form, with the page it deserves.

A screenplay, a thesis and a branching game don't behave like a novel, so Attente doesn't make them. Each form gets its own page, and the same binder, story bible and readers.

A screenplay page in industry format: scene headings, action, character cues and dialogue.

Screenplays

Elements fall into place as you press Enter and Tab: a cue is followed by dialogue, names and headings go into capitals, and characters and locations you've used before are offered as you type. The page count matches a printed script, and the scenes are listed and numbered beside the page.

Fountain, the plain-text screenplay format other tools read, goes in and out: import a .fountain file, paste a scene, or export the script.

Branching game scripts

Write in Ink, the open scripting language many narrative games already use, and see it as a script: spoken lines set like prose, choices and logic easy to tell apart, variables listed beside it.

See the whole story as a graph of knots and choices, find the paths nobody can reach, play it through, and export a .ink file the engine reads, with nothing to retype.

Theses

Numbered headings, figures and citations in the style you choose, with a reference library per thesis. Import BibTeX, CSL-JSON or RIS, or connect to Zotero on your computer.
