The fonts are a bit on the tiny side in a lot of cases, though I think that's pretty easy to tweak on an individual preference basis. The work is pretty darned good thus far. Please keep it up as it's greatly appreciated.

Some thoughts from my time working on RPGXplorer sheets.
-You can take and create variables up front and use those to set options like Include Feat Description or Include Spell List. Descriptions are one of those things that as you get used to a feat, power, ability, etc, you won't always need it (because you'll know it by heart). -You may want to keeps Spell Lists separate. Make a completely different XSL for it as someone may not want to reprint their spell list every time they print their character. I'm sure that I'll come up with more stuff as time goes on (and when I've had more time to look at sheets). I'm glad to see people taking the time to get these things going. |

So their is by default a Source that says "Show Feat/Ability Descriptions" and this prints in with all the rest of the Sources. So XSLT has a function for doing a Scan/Search called Contains. Which Returns true if string1 contains string2, otherwise it returns false Example: contains('XML','XM') Result: true So if we expand that to the following: Code:
<xsl:if test="contains(@source,'Show Feat/Ability Descriptions') ='true'"> <!-- If TRUE then process printing Full Desc Text --> </xsl:if> Otherwise this says only if we can find the wording of Show Feat/Ability text then go ahead and do the full print page. I was also thinking then that we can easily make up new Source options using a .user file and that can be combined together with the Custom Output using the HLExport tool. So could have another for Full Spell Book. It could get really fancy with the controls. Well at least those where my thoughts so far but no time to do any Proof of Concept yet.

Have a standard first sheet with just feat/etc names. Then make another output that is only feats with full descriptions. One for spells, special abilities, all that sort of stuff. I think that having the things be more modular would be helpful as you can print out only what you would need. I'm also trying to think of some other cool output types not based on the standard sheet. I'm excited to see some of these new changes coming next week. |

I think this is great, just added it to my portfolio.
One thing, when printing the whole portfolio, characters are appended to the last page of the previous character. Also I hope they add the attribute to show where an item is stored as my group is using that aspect heavily at the moment. |

Hopefully with the new Update to the Character output Character sheets can now be made with what I am looking for.
Still looking to get a Character sheet that looks like the Pathfinder Society one. |

I tried out sebacore's sheet, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. It appears to have imported alright, and it shows up in the list as an option. But when I click it it creates the html and opens in the browser but it's completely blank. I'm kinda new to Herolab, so I'm surely just doing something wrong. Anyone have any ideas what that might be?
