Roster Output Question

[AntaresCD]

I'm a first time data file author and I have two questions related to output:

1) I've been trying to get the roster output to use up the full width of the available space but I've been unable to.

I know that sounds vague, so I'll illustrate:

Name.....Stat1....Stat2...Stat3...Cost...[empty space]
Unti1.....x...........x.........x........10......[empty space]
Item1....[text block..........................][empty space]
...........[text block wrapping..............][empty space]

The problem is that the details of the items will only use the same amount of space for their description as the stat block uses, which leaves a decent amount of space unused in this section of the roster which leads to a lot of unnecessarily long blocks for upgrade descriptions.

2) Also for roster output, I'm trying to keep the amount of redundant or distracting text to a minimum so I wanted my items to just be listed by name (and maybe a short summary) or as a list, similar to how built-in upgrades are listed. I have my items selected from a list and added as linked children. I want the items to have the following:
-Full design text for roster selection (some of them have lots of text to read through.
-Summary text (a lot of newlines cutout and info shortened).
-In output, the full design text in the footnotes and just the name/cost, or the name/cost and summary in the main part of the roster.

Currently I can get the first 2 but not the third. I can make the information appear in footnotes but not remove it from the main section. Or I can make it disappear from both areas.

Any help with my questions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
