Especially after the change to use semantic linefeeds (7b23c76b),
the diffs are large and it's hard to figure out what diff is the
result of the linefeed change and which diff is the result of an
edit.
By updating the docs, it will make the edits easier to understand
from the diff.
This commit used the LyX binary to write the new .lyx files since
lyx2lyx does not apply semantic linefeeds.
I used the following command:
./development/tools/updatedocs.py [path to 'lyx' binary]
A few documents were not updated (e.g., the command sequence used
failed because a dialog about a missing dependency was shown).
I did not update Additional.lyx for any language since it is
undergoing changes. I also didn't change anything in doc/fr since JP
is working on some of those. I also didn't change doc/ru since it
appears Yuriy already updated those.

I added a few lines at the end of script about binding.

The original script ended with the words

There were also references to tabs,

You can put your Speaker names in labels,

the insert cross references to the labels.
|
|
The printed version will automatically be capitalized in Speaker even if the label is not capped.
|
|
This way you can use them in dialogue also,
|
|
and change all references to your Speaker's names just by changing the label.

Use the description after INT.

or EXT.
|
|
to keep it on the same page.
|
|
Narrative is the same,
|
|
except that it allows a pagebreak before it.
|
|
Notice that I did not use the labels for Joe and April here because they are upper-cased in discriptions only the first time they are used.
|
|
You could make extra labels,
|
|
but I think it would be error-prone.

Rules for breaking a page.
|

Scene headers,

like INT.,

remain attached to Description.
|
|
If a page breaks between a Speaker and a one sentence Dialogue,
|
|
move it above the Speaker.
|

A long Dialogue passage would be split -- but I'll get to that later.

I was just demonstrating the way many writers break description into shorter paragraphs.
|
|
I've seen blocks of description covering an entire page.

When you make a half-million or so per script,

you can pretty much use any format you want.

By the way,
|
|
the first time you introduce a speaker in description,
|
|
you CAP his name.
|
|
And when you break dialogue with description,
|
|
the standard is to place "continuing" within parentheses when a speaker chatters on and on.

Of course,

many writers have dropped "continuing" from their repertoire.

it's obvious that I'm still speaking,

And that I never stopped speaking.

You need your script,

two sheets of plain manila binding stock,

a three hole punch,

and three 1.5 inch brass brads.
|
|
No title or name on the binding stock.

When you get it all assembled,

you can hammer the brass brads down to make it good and tight.

Now lets go eat.
