creating a Reference Manual
Wanted to ask if there was a way for us plebs out there to EASILY make a reference manual like you would get when you buy a official product? I have alot of the PDF's and would like to know if I can make my own or strictly have to buy them?

The Author extension will let you format a "reference manual" by taking Story entries organized by categories as chapters. So anything you can do in the Story entries will be in the reference manual. To be clear there are things in the Story entries you can't do that you CAN in reference manuals. What'd I'd recommend if you would like to add those things is to get your text/formatting resolved in the story entry, then /Author to the db.xml for the reference manual module and then edit it manually for anything you need additionally such as inline images.

When you get to the point of editing the XML manually - if that's the direction you want to go (to include inline images, for example), then do a Site Search for reference manual There are various threads (with useful links) that have already discussed creating reference manuals.

That looks interesting, does it do 3.5E format or only 5E?
