Wasn't sure whether to put this in the thread for the creature parser extension or in it's own thread; putting it here since this might be useful even to people who don't use that extension.
The gentleman behind the incredibly useful "Pf2 Monster Tools" website (https://monster.pf2.tools/) has been extremely kind enough to, at my request, add a text output that is formatted roughly how the Creature Parser extension wants it formatted.
Basically, create a monster with the tool, and then click on the "text" field below the graphical stat block. The text in that field should be able to be copied straight into the Creature Parser (or anywhere else you need a plaintext writeup of the monster, really).
There are likely a couple quirks here, since he doesn't use Fantasy Grounds himself and just threw this functionality together over a couple days after I asked him about it, but in my testing it works pretty well. Hopefully this is helpful to anyone who, like me, does a lot of homebrew monster design.
