I was thinking that it would be nice to make something like the "The Big Book of d20 Monsters for BRP" out of the data you produced. I could rip the description of the monsters from the d20 document and use the stats from your program...
Is there an easy way to create a file (txt/html/doc/rtf...) out of the program with a (chapter-11-like-) stat-block for each creature? The actual format isn't really important, since I want to convert it to LaTeX anyhow, but it should be in a system where every entry can automatically be identified (and therefore automatically converted to the format of my choice).
The optimum would be something like this:
line content
1. Name
2. Table with characteristic | Roll | Average (could be text)
3. Move:
4. Hit Points:
5. Damage Bonus:
6. Armor:
7. Attack:
8. Skills:
9. Remarks to stats
10. empty line/pagebreak or something else to mark the end of the block
so that I could convert it to something like this (pseudo-LaTeX-code for each creature):
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\stathead{variable with name from 1.}
variable with Description from d20-document
\characteristics{variable with characteristics-table generated from 2.}
\begin{statblock}
\textbf{Move:} variable with move-data from 3.
... same prinicple for 4.-9.
\end{statblock}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
That way I could basically generate the whole document without doing anything by hand.
