Summary
Attached are all the spells from the "core rulebook" in XML format.
Background
I said in my first post that I wasn't sure if I'd contribute. Well, BFRPG has won me over.
I decided to write a simple .ODB (LibreOffice) database to function as a "spell book." This XML document is my "first step" toward that goal.
Now that I have all the spells from the .ODT file in .XML format, it should be pretty easy to move them over onto a table in an .ODB. And once that's done, a few forms and queries should give me a pretty functional "spell book" to manage my magic users' spells.
I'll share that .ODB when I complete it. But, in the mean time, I wanted to share the .XML in case anyone else found the data useful.
Notes
- I omitted the DTD. This is on purpose. The XML parser I plan to use to load the XML onto tables in the .ODB chokes on the DTD.
- I left HTML "special character" entities (e.g. –) in the "description" tag, since I plan to use the database to populate an HTML template anyway. But this means some XML parsers will choke on those entities.
- I'm not sure if this submission belongs here in "The Workshop." I read the Submission guidelines, but they seemed primarily aimed at .ODT submissions, such as adventures, races, classes, monsters. If "The Workshop" isn't the place for a "data" submission (and what will ultimately become a "database" submission), then let me know and I'll gladly host on my own website
