Probably worth positing this question in the hero labs stuff forum instead of the 5e sub forum.

Didn't know whether it was 5e specific. The 5e SRD is the only game system I use in HL.

I just checked the PF version and the printing is setup exactly the same way.

Looks like it has been requested previously a few times actually. :(

It really seems like a "no-brainer" to me. I find the lack of action on implementing it just as baffling as why it was not implemented from the start.

This does seem like a no-brainer feature.

The problem is that Herolab's default print output options are sucktastic at best. Any descriptive text is cut off after three lines. In Pathfinder, I find that the only good option for print ouput is to use a custom output sheet such as Ancient One's where I can get everything printed to one single document without going through hoops like Primo's work around. What's needed are custom output optiosn for 5e.

I wish I understood how to create a custom output option. Is it even possible? If so, how do you construct it? What do you need to do or know in order to make it? Is it part of the program or some other convoluted process? Or is this something that's only applicable to Pathfinder due to how HL is constructed and how PF is implemented on it?

If there was a clear path or instructions on how to create an optional output method, I'd so be on that.

As I understand it, it requires pretty extensive XML knowledge. Shadow Chemosh might be the only poster up to the task, but I think his time is taken up with the original Pathfinder version.

Topics here seemed to switch. The op wanted an option to print all character sheets at once. Now we have issues of not enough text and custom output.

For getting all the "Text" you need to print the Dossier called "Abilities & Gear Description Appendix". That fixes the issue of only getting three print lines. This works the same in Pathfinder.

For custom output it uses XSLT not XML but knowing XML will help. To learn how to do custom output in HL go to "Help->Hero Lab Manual->Custom Output". Of course the more you know about XML, HTML, XSLT and maybe some javascript the better this will all work. In those cases you can easily find thousands of pages of help using google. :D

Actually I think they were talking about text being cut-off. It happens a lot because for some strange reason HL allows for a ton of text to be input but which won't fit in the space allowed for it when parsed to a character sheet.

Yeah, so easy and accessible.
