Formatting question

[RVwriter]

I have an older version of Writer's Digest Guide to Manuscript Formats (1987) and wondered if the play formats are still basically the same? If not, could you tell me some of the main changes involved in formatting?

Thanks!

Lots of variation in playscript format. These are generally acceptable:
