How do I include additional files?

There is not a way specific to Fountain Mode to include additional files. The author’s advice is to leverage the power of other Unix tools. One way is to use a Makefile, like this:

DRAFT    = Memoryhouse.fountain

INCLUDE += prologue.fountain
INCLUDE += act_1.fountain
INCLUDE += act_2.fountain
INCLUDE += act_3.fountain
INCLUDE += denouement.fountain

draft:
	cat $(INCLUDE) > $(DRAFT)

A more complicated way could use M4:

title: __TITLE__
credit: written by
author: __AUTHOR__

m4_include(prologue.fountain)

m4_include(act_1.fountain)

m4_include(act_2.fountain)

m4_include(act_3.fountain)

m4_include(denouement.fountain)
