Custom tag IDs in editor?

[EightBitz]

Can I somehow specify my own tag IDs in the editor (specifically, in this case, for FATE Core)? The wiki obviously explains how to do this with the authoring kit, but I can't find if there's a way to do it with the editor.

All logic for all game systems are built at their core from the Authoring kit. So anything from the Authoring Kit will work for any game in HL (except Macros). The editor just makes the most common tasks like adding a spell in Pathfinder/d20 easier. But you can if you wish work outside the editor using Authoring kit logic (ie in raw XML) also.

So in this case you are looking for a .1st file. Dot first files are loaded well "first" by HL. So it allows for adding new sources and tags. I use them allot for the Pathfinder community packages.

Here is the simple layout of a new tag group and its new tags. you can copy this into a plain text file and name it XXXXx.1st and HL will load it in any game system.

In XML <!-- is the start of a comment section and --> is the end. The above shows two helpful examples of new groups. The first one PathOfWar is new group with each tag defined underneath it. The second group "HasMan" is going to inherit its tags from an existing defined group called Discipline. So HasMan will have all the same tags as the Discipline group has.
