Title pages and "classic" revisions (McQueen) #21

Description

@rnkn

A little while ago I put together some sketches for Sass CSS you might want to check out: https://github.com/rnkn/mcqueen. It actually has its origins in the CSS I stole from Textplay for exporting from Fountain Mode from Emacs, so I should have you credited, but I haven't yet 😬

I got a pretty reliable title page going here:
https://github.com/rnkn/mcqueen/blob/master/mcqueen.scss#L58

Also there's an okay-ish "classic" style revision mark working (* in right margin): https://github.com/rnkn/mcqueen/blob/master/mcqueen.scss#L115
This doesn't look too pretty on screen, but works through Prince.

One of the main differences is that it's designed for dialogue blocks in tables, which allow for a rough (MORE) and (CONT'D) when breaking pages.

Presently Prince does not allow captioning tables in an "all except last page" fashion, which is what would be needed for the first (MORE) caption, so it's in the footer instead, which doesn't look very attractive. I'm really hoping this changes in Prince 10.

The whole thing needs more attention and probably some input from people other than myself. Most lacking is that I haven't included any example HTML. Any feedback would be super.
