Convert your comic scripts to dialogue tables for faster and easier digital lettering with Pandoc & LUA!
Instead of manually copy-pasting or re-typing dialogue and sound effects from your comic script, convert your formatted .DOCX, .ODT, or .MD scripts into a spreadsheet table with just the dialog; one-row-per-line. Then, easily import your table into Illustrator, InDesign, or Clip Studio Paint, which can each automatically split your dialogue and populate text frames for your comic!
The best part… you don't even have to touch command line… Just edit a few options in the code, then drag and drop your file(s) onto a shortcut icon. Easy-peasy.
