[USER=7055898]@Silam[/USER] and [USER=43283]@Scurvy_Platypus[/USER] thanks so much for the links and checks notes 800 pages of markdown <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😄" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f604.png" title="Grinning face with smiling eyes    :smile:" data-shortname=":smile:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />So, the reason I was searching for this was I wanted to try my hand at taking the SRD (esp. 5.2.1) and turning it into a modern documentation site, like technical docs would for any good API. I'm excited for how it turned out![URL unfurl="true"]https://dmdocs.vercel.app[/URL]My goal was a simple, searchable, exportable, free docs site that people can use to pull this info. Wizards only having this info in a huge chonky PDF is stunningly poor UX.(Not sure if I'm allowed to post links as a new account, I guess we'll see.)The GitHub has the raw material for anyone that wants it:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Structured markdown for all 360 pages of SRD 5.2.1</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Spells, monster stat blocks, and magic items as MDX files with clean metadata / frontmatter</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Scripts for verifying content against the SRD (though currently this requires a separate markdown, which Platypus's saved my bacon with.)</li> </ul>I'm having a blast, so coming up next is:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Exportable data where you can pull, say, the full bestiary in json, yaml, or toml. (Or just Wizard spells, or just rare items, etc.)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">llms.txt so it's way easier for llms to ingest it (since currently LLMs will bounce around 2014 and 2024 rules willy nilly)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">And I'm hooooooping I can automate checking for updates from Wizards and just implementing those as they come in automatically. We'll see <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🙂" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" title="Slightly smiling face    :slight_smile:" data-shortname=":slight_smile:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /></li> </ul>Feedback super welcome. There's definitely errors in there, so flag away, but it should be pretty clean. I need to fix up the lefthand nav for mobile users, which should be in before this evening.Edit: Adding since I see Scurvy mentioned re-doing the order of the monsters, we can change that up programmatically if we want to. They're currently organized loosely by creature type, but we can add lists by CR, fully alphabetical, or something silly like by size or alignment</blockquote>
