I know we can make custom outputs for "Save Custom Output". But what about doing new formatting options for "Output Hero Statblock"? For example if we wanted to add Markdown output to our system.

You can change the output options in the Statblock by modifying the out_statblock.dat file in the datafiles.

Please do not PM me to inquire about datafiles I coded "for personal use" such as Exalted, World of Darkness, AD&D, or Warhammer 40K Roleplaying. I appreciate your interest, but I do not own the Intellectual Property rights to these game systems. Nor do I have permission from any of the Publishers to distribute the data files. As such, I cannot distribute the work I have done with community on these files. They are "for personal use" only. Thank you.

I am far too busy these days to answer emails. If you message me here there is no guarantee I will get back to you at all.

I should be more specific. I want to define an additional style for this. Between the program files defaults folder and all the style options in the game system folder, I cannot find anything that identifies the styles used in the out_statblock file.

styles="plain+html+bbcode+wikitext+print"

Should be around line 157 of the out_statblock.dat file.

Have you looked in the Styles_output file? There are two styles files in the authoring kit. Styles_UI is used for the User Interface, while the output folder is for defining styles used for output on sheets and statblocks.

The statblock stuff is added by things like @boldon and @italicson, so if you need that kind of style information, I probably can't help you. Though you could check on output for xml and see what options that search gives you. You might find something by looking at standard xml output language.

styles="plain+html+bbcode+wikitext+print" is saying which of the tabs to show along the top of the statblock format - each of those tabs is defined by the program, not the data files, and the same set of options is available in all data files.
