Manual

Step 1: Downloading and running the Parser

The Parser is contained within a zip file on the sheet forums.

To get the latest version of the HTML Parser:

1. Log into the Forum using your Login/Password
2. Click here to get to the HTML Parser section of the Forum
3. Download it
4. Extract it and run it

If you see any bugs, please post on the Forum, in the HTML Parser section ! Note that you can subscribe to the HTML Parser thread to automatically be informed of new version or updates!

Step 2 Getting information from the Sheet itself

1. Run the sheet and load up your character as normal
2. goto the view menu and choose sheet, unhide
3. look through the list for a sheet named "statsraw"
4. select it and click unhide

This displays the raw character information on the stats page but without any formatting, select from the top cell all the way down to the bottom one (the credit line is important as it tells the parser where to stop!) and copy it all to the clipboard.

Here you have an option. You can either:

• paste it into your favorite text editor and save the file for the parser to load
• or paste it directly into the parser itself

If you save it as a file make a note of the file path and either enter it into the file path edit box at the top or click the "select file" button to navigate to it.

If you want to paste directly into the sheet then click the "show input form" button at the top of the parser window and paste it directly into the large box that appears, then click the labelled button at the bottom.

Step 3: Setting up the Parser to work for you

Step 5: Getting the information to your web page

You have 2 options:

1. Save it as a file (works best if you have built a complete html page)
2. Copy to clipboard (works best if this is the "body" part of a webpage and you are going to add it into another pre-existing page)

Click the relevant button on the output result, the copy button will automatically copy the entire text to the clipboard. The save button will bring up a dialog so you can say where you would like the page saved.
