How to use the Screenplay Formatter.
Formatting organizes existing scene information; it should not add actions that change the story. Keep scene headings, action and dialogue visibly distinct.
Make the workflow fit your task.
Identify scene headings, action and speaker lines in the supplied text. Apply consistent screenplay-style organization while preserving every stated action and keeping formatting decisions separate from story edits.

Decisions and troubleshooting.
Will formatted text become a screenplay application file?
Plain text can show scene and dialogue structure. A specific application's file format requires its own import or export workflow.
Why did the formatted version add a gesture or movement?
Remove actions not present in the source and request formatting only. Clear layout does not require rewriting what happens.
Try it with your own source.
Replace the example with your material in the task prompt. Keep the requirements you need, then copy the task into WebAct.
