[QUOTE="jigsawsaint, post: 5092605, member: 68969"] Hi, Andrew Reutter here from iplay4e.com. I just wanted to note that we would very much like our site to generate decent printable sheets, but other features with greater priority make it unlikely we'll get to it ourselves soon. The way we generate sheets (interactive or not) is as follows: - When you upload a dnd4e file, we parse it into a more easily consumable XML format (ip4xml). This file throws out all the cruft and exposes only the pieces needed to build a character sheet. You'll find it much easier to work with than the dnd4e content itself - not to mention the fact that we'll already be dealing with keeping up with changes to the dnd4e format, that we also plan on parsing Monster Builder files into ip4xml format, and so on. You can sample ip4xml by viewing the source of this page: [url]http://iplay4e.appspot.com/characters/agdpcGxheTRlchMLEgtDaGFyYWN0ZXJWMhiHnxsM/main[/url] - The various formats (browser, tablet, mobile, BBCode, etc...) are simply XSL documents that transform that XML into HTML. I'm happy to provide samples of this as well. If someone were to contribute XSL that generated a pretty printable sheet from the XML document, we'd be thrilled to add that to our "File" menu. Something like: File -> Printable Format (compliments of neolithic). If you're interested, respond here or hit me up via email: andrew.reutter at gmail.com Cheers, Andrew Reutter [url=http://iplay4e.com]iPlay4e - play 4e Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) online![/url] [/QUOTE]
