%% This class package was based on the package ``plari'' written by
%% Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho in 1998. Since I have made some major changes
%% to the code I have rewritten all of the comments except for the
%% following section:

%% Just to be sure everybody understands this:
%% Including plari.cls in one's document with the LaTeX2e command
%% \documentclass[...]{plari}
%% is considered /use/ of plari.cls and is therefore not restricted
%% by the GNU General Public License. If you still are unsure, you
%% can regard this notice as a special exeption to the GNU General
%% Public License, to be applied to [sides.cls] as authored by

%% \end{original comments}
%%
%%
%%
%% HOW TO USE SIDES
%%
%% Simply start your document off with \documentclass[12pt]{sides}.
%%
%% Within the sides class, all text are single spaced and paragraphs
%% are not indented. The document is divided into acts and scenes. They each
%% have their own counters. Starting a new act starts a new page as well.
%%
%% \newact
%% creates a new act with heading Act N, N is act number in Roman num
%% \newactnamed{actname}
%% creates a new act with heading actname, does not increment counter
%% this is useful for interludes, prologues, etc.
%% \newscene
%% creates a new scene with heading Scene M, M is scene number
%% \newscenenamed{scname}
%% creates a new scene with heading scname, does not increment counter
%% \repl{charname} diag
%% outputs a line with text diag spoken by charname
%% \stagedir{dir}
%% outputs italized stage directions dir
%% \chara{charname}
%% outputs charname in smallcaps, as in repl
%% \paren{remark}
%% inserts an italized parenthetical remark into the text
%% \pause
%% an alias for \paren{Pause.}
%% \castpage, \castpagelatin
%% inserts a cast section, which in reality is just an unnumbered scene
%% \castpagelatin outputs ``dramatis personae'' instead of boring English
%% \cast{charname}{desc}
%% outputs an entry with character charname and description desc
%% \notes
%% inserts a section for playwright's notes, does not start a new page
%%
%% \castpage and \notes are just shorthands, one can always just use
%% \newscenenamed{title} to accomplish the same thing.

% Now we initialize the counters.

% The newact commands create new pages and a huge heading.
% Change the vspace parameters if you want to change the spacing after

% We are going to make each scene a section so scenes do not
% get orphaned from their tltles.
% To modify spacing before and after scene titles, modify this:
\newcommand{\scenedef}{\@startsection {scene}{1}{0pt}%
{3em} % space before title
{2em} % space after title
{\centering\mdseries\Large}}
% These are the new scene commands.
\newcommand{\newscene}{
\refstepcounter{scene}
{\scenedef*{Scene \arabic{scene}}}
}
\newcommand{\newscenenamed}[1]{%
{\scenedef*{#1}}
}
% Similarly, we use sections for the dialogue to avoid orphans.
% Once again, if you wish to change the skip amounts, do so here.
\newcommand{\repldef}{\@startsection {diag}{2}{0pt}%
{1em} % space before name
{0.25pt} % space after name
{\centering\normalsize\mdseries\scshape}}
\newcommand{\repl}{\repldef*}
% Now for something simple...
\newcommand{\paren}[1]{(\textit{#1})}
\newcommand{\pause}{\paren{Pause.}}
\newcommand{\chara}[1]{\textsc{#1}}
% And now some stage directions...
\newcommand{\stagedir}[1]{%
\begingroup%

\parsep=\parskip%
\topsep=\z@%
\rightmargin=\leftmargin%
}%
\item%
\let\item\@undefined%
{\vspace{1em}\normalsize\itshape\mdseries#1\vspace{1ex}}%
\endlist%
\endgroup%
}
% Now comes the cast list and stage notes...
\newcommand{\castpage}{\newscenenamed{Cast of Characters}}
\newcommand{\castpagelatin}{\newscenenamed{Dramatis Personae}}
\newcommand{\notes}{\newscenenamed{Playwright's Notes}}
% We format cast listings similar to dialogue.
\newcommand{\castdef}{\@startsection {cast}{2}{0pt}%
{0.5em} % space before name
{0.001pt} % space after name
{\normalsize\mdseries\scshape}}
\newcommand{\cast}[1]
{
\castdef*{#1}
}
% We also want there to be no indents and a medskip between long paragraphs
% of text. If you do not want there to be a skip, comment out the second line.
\parindent=\z@
\parskip=\medskipamount\relax
% Now we make our formatting pretty. These options can be overrided easily.
\evensidemargin 0in
\topmargin 0in

\baselineskip 14pt
