I'll be upfront and admit that I'm a bit slow with XML. Its not my forte at all. That being said, I can follow directions quite well. My problem is, I'm having trouble finding a thread that gives complete start-to-finish instructions for using the parser to scrape the on-line Compendium. I see many threads out there that give what appear to be partial instructions for different sections of it. Is there a thread for this? Can someone point me to it? If not, can someone please assist me by giving me instructions? I'm totally stuck on this.

Have you seen this post (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showpost.php?p=84732&postcount=8), its a basic walkthrough of a scraping and parsing using the Players Handbook: Dragonborn module as an example? Let me know if that helps or ig you are looking for something more specific.

The same guide used to also be available on the FGWiki (https://oberoten.dyndns.org/fgwiki/index.php/Main_Page) but I can't seem to find it now.

I am trying it now. However, something else odd has come up. In all the examples I'm seeing of the parser it looks more... finished. Better GUI. But I thought I dl'd the newest version.
