HPR3496: How I record HPR Episodes

https://gitlab.com/norrist/solocast

Sample script.txt

This is a sample script for solocast.
Separate the segments with a blank line

Bulleted lists are OK, but keep the items together by not skipping a line
- Item 1
- Item 2

### Markdown Formatting is OK
But the Formatting gets lost in the script
so you can write show notes in loosely formatted markdown

Don't have more than 1 blank line separating segments
