Fountain parser

About

This python script is a fountain script parser, which converts .fountain files to python object. It is ported to Python 3 by Colton J. Provias - [email protected] - original code here, based on Fountain by Nima Yousefi & John August; original code for Objective-C at https://github.com/nyousefi/Fountain.

I did just some little tweaks to Coltons code, since I ran into some issues.

Dialogues with linebreaks lose "original_content" after first line

I'm parsing and reconstructing screenplays using this (very useful!) module.
I noticed that on dialogues with multiple lines, the original_content was missing lines after the first:

I checked, and you are adding the new element_text to the previous Dialog element, but you're not adding the line itself to the original content.

On my monkey-patched version, I added the following:

and it solved my problems. I'll raise a PR, if you want to bring it in.

Empty Line broken?

I'm trying to get some sort of fountain preview to work in Blender with Andrea, but it seems like no "Empty Line" types are generated. Is this a bug?

Error in splitlines

If a document without ':' or empty is parsed then it will cause an error
