I am sorry but you WAY overestimating how difficult it is. If you can do HL scripting you can do XSLT. In matter of fact it is even "EASIER" than HL scripting because you find hundreds of websites to teach it to you. You can't find that for HL Scripting.

Again my advice would be go read the threads that hash this all out. The final outcome was "Custom Output".
Yes parts of HL expect you the 'user' to actually solve your own issues. It provides the tools and a base character sheet. If you want "MORE" then you will have to learn how to code XSLT. Just like if you want to really customize HL or input your own houserules you HAVE to learn how to write HL scripts.
These are NOT downfalls of the product. These are what makes the product great because I don't have to sit around and "BEG" LW to do something or add something. I can simply go and do it myself and it will be "exactly" how I want it. But the "cost" is time and energy instead of "money".
