Creating a monster database

[daplunk]

Sorry what do you mean search your content for links?

Auto linking occurs when you save any article you are editing but I suspect that's not what you are referring to.

Here's a link to some shortcuts, prtty sure they are pulled from the help file.

Ask all the questions mate, no issues at all.

There is a menu command on each snippet to "Clear content links and re-scan".

For the whole topic, I usually just add and then remove a space at the end of one snippet (to make register as it "dirty" / changed) and then save.

There is not currently any way to trigger Realm-wide scanning.

Do this at time of creation to save yourself issues later.

I never ever use plural.

For my entries that I intend to have linked will look like:

Kobold (5): Ac blah blah
Spider, Giant (4): AC Yada Yada Yada.

This is in my mind a better route, if you never use plural, you never have to worry about links.

The adventure books release by WOTC all use plurals. That's the reason for my decision. I would alternatively need to rewrite all the monster names in the modules as I input the data which would be incredibly inefficient.

#2 is my preferred method these days.

Is there a way to do this method and have seperate pictures for each of the variants you include in the portfolio for a particular race? For example, I have lizardfolk, lizardfolk shaman, and lizardfolk king all in one portfolio, and would like different pictures for each when I add them to an encounter.
