INT. SONM'S POST TAVERN - NIGHT

It is late - the place is mostly empty. Vardaman is seated at the bar, with at least a barkeeep around somewhere as well. Coraline stumbles in, scratched, tired, and muddy, and winds up standing next to Vardaman.

VARDAMAN
You look worse than I feel.

CORALINE
I feel... well...

Instead of continuing, she sits.

VARDAMAN
(he sighs)
Barkeep, a shalott for the lady. There's pain what needs forgetting, if only for a little while.

Parsing rundown

Things that would normally be wrapped in <p>s are wrapped in <div>s with classes as follows:

• 'setting': first four letters are 'INT.' or 'EXT.'
• 'line': begins all caps (until a single \n) that is not a setting; single linebreaks within these delimit further <div> wrappers as follows:
  • 'line-speaker': everything until the first single \n
  • 'line-paren': any line wrapped in parentheses that is not a speaker
  • 'line-text': any other line within a 'line'
• 'block': anything else
