Hey guys, I'm new to this and had some questions for you. I successfully parsed the PHB 1,2,3 but I've stumble across previous module that had skills, conditions and reference rules incorporated in the modules.

Is there any way to use the parser to get those too from the compendium or were those added manually using a PDF or something?

To make it simple, I would like to add rules references, conditions and skills to my module.

Thank you!

Yes.

You will need a PDF/OCR version of the rulebook you want to create a module for. Then you reference the ParserDocument.txt in the 4EParser's Program folder. It contains the syntax of the markup that the 4EParser uses for parsing 4E content including reference text, skills and conditions.

You then create your reference.txt, skills.txt and conditions.txt files by cutting and pasting the content from the OCR/PDF source and marking it up using the syntax guide referenced earlier.

You then add the files to the 4EParser's configuration and parse to create your module.
