Yeesh.
Have you tried Notepad++? In "programming school", all the early exercises on reading, writing, and formatting text are extreeeeeeeemely tedious. I'll pass [:'(].
To clarify a bit what I would like: I want to just paste the text into a box or whatever and the program then adds the formatting for colors, size, quotes, bold text and whatnot. The program would have to recognize where to put the formatting and stuff and its way beyond what I can do. The actual format are just text within brackets.
This is how my usual formatting of ground combat looks like:
quote:
Ground combat at Milne Bay (101,133)
Allied Deliberate attack
Attacking force 3135 troops, 100 guns, 23 vehicles, Assault Value = 215
Defending force 420 troops, 0 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 16
Allied adjusted assault: 170
Japanese adjusted defense: 3
Allied assault odds: 56 to 1 (fort level 0)
Allied forces CAPTURE Milne Bay !!!
Combat modifiers
Defender: terrain(+), leaders(-), fatigue(-)
Attacker:
Japanese ground losses:
198 casualties reported
Squads: 4 destroyed, 7 disabled
Non Combat: 2 destroyed, 2 disabled
Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled
Units retreated 1
Allied ground losses:
16 casualties reported
Squads: 0 destroyed, 2 disabled
Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled
Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled
Defeated Japanese Units Retreating!
Assaulting units:
1st Australian Division
Defending units:
2nd Indpt SNLF Coy
Its a PITA to do it manually when there are loads of attacks. Air attacks are usually more numerous and takes even longer if there are several I want to show. That quote above takes about 2 minutes to do. Now imagine if there are 5 attacks...and 10 air combats I want to show. It can take up to about 30 mins to manually edit in all the formatting sometimes. Then add a few screens and some screen editing and just doing the screens and formatting can take up to an hour.
Better yet, something that you can have read your open CR file and choose which combats to format.
