what should i use so that when you click on occupations it gives clickable list instead of printing everything out.

See the CoC Reference module (CoCReference.mod) for an example. <library><rules-003><entries><section-009> uses the referenceindex class to display extra entries in the following <index> section. This is the "A Mythos Grimoire" section from the reference module:

[tlavalle]

[damned]

at the lowest level - your last reference tag isnt closed - id remove that or close it for starters...

i did that. the mod still doesn't show i know there is nothing listing, but i doesn't show in the modules selection.

[damned]

so you have both a definition.xml and a db.xml?
post the whole thing here as an attachment.

[tlavalle]

ok done

[damned]

There were still some more unclosed tags.
Im not sure what you are supposed to achieve and Im no expert with these library files - I do also find them challenging.

Here is Trenloes code expanded to a second entry. Try using this and see if it explains it better?
