What a screenplay formatter for Google Docs does

A screenplay formatter turns Google Docs into a screenwriting tool. It sets the right margins, fonts, and spacing for every element, scene heading, action, character, dialogue, parenthetical, and transition, so your script matches industry standard. You format each line with a button or a keyboard shortcut, or auto-format the whole document at once.

Screenplay Editor is that formatter. It took over after the original Screenplay Formatter add-on shut down, and it goes further. If you used to rely on the old one, here is why writers switched.
