XML Transformation Script (PowerShell)

Nice EightBitz. Very nice!

First of all, thank you EightBitz, for the great script.

I figure you would want a report of any errors, so here goes. I've done some testing and believe I have it narrowed down to it choking on bullet lists (which I use heavily, unfortunately).

Interestingly, it works fine if I change the Snippet Type to Labeled Text and leave the bullet lists as-is. It also seems to work if I use the bullet list under "Styles" rather than under "Paragraphs". (Does anyone know why we have two sets of bullets, and other, lists?)

New-Object : Cannot find type [â€TypeName PSObject â€Prop]: verify that the assembly containing this type is loaded.
At D:\owncloud\rpg\utilities\rwexport\RWExport-To-HTML.ps1:388 char:25
+ ...    $TagLocation = New-Object –TypeName PSObject –Prop $properties
+                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidType: (:) [New-Object], PSArgumentException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : TypeNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewObjectCommand

Cannot index into a null array.
At D:\owncloud\rpg\utilities\rwexport\RWExport-To-HTML.ps1:416 char:7
+       $StartPosition = $Taglist[$HighTag].Start + 1
+       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [], RuntimeException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NullArray

Edit: To expand on this, it looks like it hits a bullet list then gets stuck and just continually spits out these errors. The HTML file is still created, but ends at the snippet above the one with the bullet list.

Would you be able to export just that one topic and copy and and paste the xml code in a private message to me?

Thanks! I will take a look.

To Rob, Davidp, daplunk, ShadowChemosh, and everyone else, I want to thank you for the kind words and moral support.

And daplunk, thank you for a mostly awesome video ... until the very end where you pulled up the unformatted HTML and said, "Well that's it!" And my jaw dropped with incredulity as I mentally screamed, "No, that is certainly NOT it!"

But still, you seem to have a very good method in making your videos. When I gear up to start entering my own data, I plan to watch more of them.

Right now, though, yes I am still updating the script. As you've seen in the PDF files that I posted, I'm adding support for stat blocks and images, and I've going to see what I can do with other snippet types. No guarantees on anything at this point.

[daplunk]

Will update it tonight.

[EightBitz]

New version up. See the first post in this thread.

Just thinking out loud here...

Powershell scripts can be run via .net applications right?

Which means it should be relatively simple to build a UI into this thing...
