Before I continue doing silly things (making books from Author)
I did the Basic Characters book (don't have spells or psionics [yet], nor the equiptment list of all the weapon/armour 'tables'). Links for 99% of skills/adv/dis/perk/quirk/techniques with included traits and abilities (since they have to come in the package to make the links work right).
So, is there an easier way to do this?
(I converted the pdf into word, and made one column; fixed all the poor nasty pictures/inserts that screwed up formating [took the most time], then took those and cut and pasted by chapter/page reference into FG, then used the GCS and the Mod Maker to create all the links [took the least amount of time])
Is there a general parser out there that I'm just not seeing (I know the 5e parser isn't available anymore)?Anybody want a peanut!

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do.

I thought it might sound muddled.
I'm converting my pdfs into text (word) then reformatting the text, then importing it into FG with the Author extension.
I was mostly curious if there was a faster/easier way.
I haven't seen any parsersAnybody want a peanut!

I have found going from PDF straight to FG is simplest. Use CTRL+J! Now when you do this some characters in the XML will be screwy but that doesn't really matter. It has to do with the encoding and only matters when you go to edit the XML.

So highlight the text in the pdf. Hit Ctrl+ c. Click on your story table etc hit Ctrl+v. Then hit Ctrl+a. This should highlight everything you pasted. Then hit Ctrl+j. This will remove all the extra spaces and lines. Hope this helps.

Interesting.
Thanks. I'll try that. I'll just try to remember not to do more than a page at a time so my head doesn't explode from finding all the paragraphs starts/stopsAnybody want a peanut!
