<h2 id="splitting-files">Splitting files</h2>
|
||
<p>Complete dramatic works are divided into acts, scenes, and sometimes short plays. The <code class="bash"><b>se</b> split-file</code> tool automatically uses prose book file structuring, semantics, and naming conventions. These five easy steps will help you avoid some manual work.</p>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<h3 id="splitting-files-check-your-titles">Check your titles</h3>
|
||
<p>Instead of dealing with chapters, you need to check that your titles for acts, scenes, or short plays are marked with <code class="html"><span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">h2</span><span class="p">></span></code> elements. Headers are usually incorrect or missing in play transcriptions.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<h3 id="splitting-files-add-markers">Add markers</h3>
|
||
<p>Like novels, we add markers before the <code class="html"><span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">h2</span><span class="p">></span></code> elements in the source file before splitting.</p>
|
||
<code class="terminal"><span><b>perl</b> -pi -e <!--Single quote to prevent ! from becoming history expansion--><i>'s|<h2|<!--se:split--><h2|g'</i> <u>src/epub/text/body.xhtml</u></span></code>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<h3 id="splitting-files-make-a-template-file">Make a template file</h3>
|
||
<p>The <code class="bash"><b>se</b> split-file</code> tool defaults to a chapter template. To add the correct file semantics, we need to create the template file <code class="path">/src/epub/text/drama-template.xhtml</code>. If you wish to split the work into acts, you can copy and paste the following code to your new file:</p>

<h3 id="splitting-files-use-commands-and-positional-arguments">Use commands and positional arguments</h3>
|
||
<p>Now it’s time for <code class="bash"><b>se</b> split-file</code> to do some heavy lifting. With the help of positional arguments, we can simultaneously change the file names and which file template to use when we split the source file. You can see what arguments are available by running <code class="bash"><b>se</b> split-file -h</code>.</p>
|
||
<p>If you are splitting the text into acts, you can use:</p>
|
||
<code class="terminal"><span><b>se</b> split-file -f act-%n.xhtml -t src/epub/text/drama-template.xhtml src/epub/text/body.xhtml</span> <span><b>mv</b> act<i class="glob">*</i> src/epub/text/</span></code>
|
||
<p>If you are splitting the text into scenes, you can adjust commands to be:</p>
|
||
<code class="terminal"><span><b>se</b> split-file -f scene-%n.xhtml -t src/epub/text/drama-template.xhtml src/epub/text/body.xhtml</span> <span><b>mv</b> scene<i class="glob">*</i> src/epub/text/</span></code>

<li>
|
||
<h3 id="splitting-files-remove-unwanted-files">Remove unwanted files</h3>
|
||
<p>Once we’re happy that the source file has been split correctly, we can remove <code class="path">body.xhtml</code> and <code class="path">drama-template.xhtml</code>.</p>
|
||
<code class="terminal"><span><b>rm</b> src/epub/text/body.xhtml src/epub/text/drama-template.xhtml</span></code>

|

<p>Most plays have periods after each character description. Make sure to remove the ending periods of each list item, except for abbreviations. The letter case of various speakers can vary widely for stylistic purposes. Convert the speakers’ names and descriptions into sentence cases. Remove any bold, caps, or small-caps styling for personas.</p>

<p>Any descriptions are placed in <code class="html"><span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">p</span><span class="p">></span></code> elements after the list of speakers and end with periods.</p>

<p>Plays can come in all shapes and sizes, and no two plays look alike. Figuring out where to place play semantics can be very confusing! Here are some basic play structures to show where play semantics go.</p>
|

<h3 id="bodymatter-file-semantics-play-without-acts">Play without acts</h3>
|

<p>Some plays are not divided into acts. These plays are placed in a single file named after the play. <code class="bash"><span class="s">z3998:drama</span></code> and <code class="bash"><span class="s">z3998:scene</span></code> are located in the top-level section.</p>

<h3 id="dialog-stichomythia">Stichomythia</h3>
|
||
<p><i>Stichomythia</i> is a technique used in drama where two speakers engage in a rapid or intense exchange of alternating dialog. Here is an example found in William Shakespeare’s <i><a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/william-shakespeare/a-midsummer-nights-dream">A Midsummer Night’s Dream</a></i>.</p>
|
||
<figure class="full-width">
|
||
<img src="images/drama-formatting-1.png" alt="Five sections of dialog use stichomythia. The second section of dialog continues where the first section has left off. This pattern continues and creates a staircase effect."/>
|
||
</figure>
|
||
<p>This highlights moments of conflict, urgency, or intense emotion and conveys dynamic interactions between characters. Unfortunately, there is no great way to format this technique with clear, predictable structuring. The text displayed has no additional indents or margins.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="dialog-ancient-greek-choral-sections">Ancient Greek choral sections</h3>
|
||
<p>Ancient Greek drama can contain choral sections where each stanza is labeled as strophe, antistrophe, or epode. The sections are numbered if a chorus sings/chants a pattern of strophic, antistrophic, and epodic units. The labels are formatted with italics, parentheses around the label, and right-alignment.</p>

<p>Occasionally, there is a stage direction row in the middle of the dialog.

Do not use the <code class="bash"><span class="s">together</span></code> class for this, as the interrupting stage direction usually doesn’t pertain to the speaker.</p>

<p>Some stage directions are attached to the persona. These directions are placed in <code class="html"><span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">td</span><span class="p">></span></code> elements with the dialog. For <i>prose dialog</i>, the stage direction is on the same line as the dialog. For <i>verse dialog</i>, the stage direction is in a separate paragraph before the dialog. The stage direction is not part of the meter; the meter sets specific line lengths and emphasis.</p>
