How this pair works
Your Open Screenplay Format file is parsed into a canonical screenplay model (by verified content, not just the file extension), then rendered as HTML. HTML background: First described by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in 1991 with just 18 elements; many writing tools later shipped an HTML export as their sharing format, which made it a quiet workhorse for script exchange.
