Happy New Year.

This one may have been discussed before but I could not locate it in the
archives.

It would be nice to use abiword for writing scripts.
Obviously, Abiword in its current state _can_ be used for screenwriting.
However, the automation of certain tasks would make this _much_ easier
to do. - automated text completion for character names, scene
headings, transitions , etc. (which are usually allCaps)
   - format style for all_cap text blocks
   - paragraph flow over page boundaries (MORE & CONTINUED)

Seems that much of this could be done in a plugin. I am not sure about
features such as the text completion, though.

Has anyone tried to do screenwriting features in Abiword yet?
