Stage directions (for prose plays):

• If it's an exit cue, it's formatted with the {{runningheader}} template,
• if it's anything else, even if it appears right-aligned on the page, it will be formatted with:
  • {{left margin/s|4em}}{{hi|SAMPLE TEXT}}{{left margin/e}}.
• Entrance cues are formatted with the {{center}} template.
• Scene headings are formatting using:
  • {{dent/s|1em|-1em}}
    {{c|SAMPLE TEXT}}
    {{dent/e}}

Scene descriptions are centered, not left-aligned.

Footnotes are formatted using {{smallrefs}}. Remember to put it in both the main page and the "Footnote" of each page with footnotes.

For verse plays, when the stage direction (except for an exit cue) appears within the dialogue:

• :::SAMPLE TEXT.

If an exit cue appears within the dialogue of a verse play:

• end the dialogue as normal before the cue
• format the exit cue with the {{runningheader}} template
• start the rest of the dialogue with the {{left margin/s|2em}}SAMPLE TEXT{{left margin/e}}, which will mimic the spacing of the hanging indent from the previous dialogue
