Will there be a “pretty print” feature for the codex in the foreseeable future?
Or even better, a way to extract and embed the html so you can make your own monster compilations?
I’m thinking of making some monsters for my home campaign, and having a page per monster (plus the layout of the site on each) would be a waste of paper.
Yellow SUBmarine.
As I understand it you could simply pull the XML from the GitHub repository and go to town formatting the text.
“Simply”
I suspect they probably don’t want you to do that; sounds like a crawler dragging info from the monster hub crashed it a few weeks ago.
I think it would be a different story if you just cloned the repo.
I believe David Silverman is working on a cleaned up version of the github files. See here: https://plus.google.com/106638601089526807212/posts/2L4UK9MjyTk
I’d love to do a print option, but print layout in HTML is shit. I mean, you can always print as-is. Or screen cap an image.
Embedding might be tricky. I’d have to make sure we’re ready for the load.
Crawlers are totally encouraged, so long as they’re not dicks about it. We have no robots.txt, the entire site is crawlable.
Or just add a print.css file and hide the headers navbars.
Yeah, if you’re resuest for “print” is just “hide nav” sure I can do that. Making it actually look good is a whole other issue.
Well, I wanted to be able to include more than one monster per page, and maybe export the monster to a document or pdf.
