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).
What about XML? It shouldn't be that difficult to export data from Excel to XML (even if I never have done so myself...). All it takes, I imagine, is defining a XML schema and map that to the data in the workbook.
