Bug Fixes

  • Malayalam text overflow in PDF export — Fixed text extending past page margins. Non-breaking spaces (U+00A0) and other non-breakable whitespace inserted by some Malayalam IMEs are now converted to regular spaces so Typst can wrap lines properly.
  • Smart quotation marks — Normalize straight quotes and fix the common typing issue where both ends of a dialogue use the opening quote. Open/close pairs are determined from context.
  • Auto-wrap dialogue in quotes — Dialogue lines missing opening or closing quotes (or both) now get the missing side added automatically in PDF export.

PDF Layout Polish

  • Block alignment fixed — Character cues, parentheticals, and dialogue are now properly centered on the page. The outer unbreakable block uses width: 100% so content centers at the actual text area center instead of a shrunken left-aligned box.
  • Consistent horizontal alignment — Character cue, parenthetical, and dialogue share the same vertical center.
  • Dialogue column width — Narrowed to ~60% of the action column (9.5cm) for better readability and clearer visual hierarchy.
  • Vertical rhythm — Looser line spacing (leading 0.85em) for better Malayalam readability, explicit paragraph spacing, and more breathing room around scene headings and character blocks.
  • Malayalam typography — Set lang: "ml" and linebreaks: "optimized" across all PDF templates (Hollywood, Indian, prose sections, scene cards).
