Movie is a Groff macro package for writing screenplays. It consists of several macros you can enter on a line by themselves, in between lines of actual text. With the exception of .STE, which signifies the end of a subtitle, every macro signifies the start of a block of text, describing what type of text block it precedes.
If you use the same type of text block several times in a row (such as .A or .D), subsequent ones can be separated by a blank line.
