Custom output to a .txt file instead of .htm?

wdmartin · February 13th, 2019, 01:45 PM

I wrote an XSL script that generates BBcode for all of the attack/damage rolls for each creature in a portfolio. It contains this line:

Code:

<xsl:output encoding="utf-8" method="text" />

When I run the script, Hero Lab wants to save the output as a .htm file. After it's saved, the program shell executes the new file, causing it to open up in my browser even though it's plain text and thus renders as a giant unreadable blob.

I can manually change the file extension from "htm" to "txt" in the save dialog, so it's not a huge deal. But that's an extra step I could live without.

Is there anything I can do to the XSL script to signal Hero Lab to use a .txt extension by default in this case?

Not that I know of. In fact, I tried changing the ".htm" to ".html" and HL named my file with ".html.htm" at the end?!?! PITN.
