Hi there,

I know ID pretty well, i understand the basics for xml, i have a little experience in scripting, but i haven't combined these three 'skills'. So here's my question: I want to generate a 'catalog' of monsters (Dungeons & Dragons game), i've got an xml file (see example below) with a couple of hundred 'monsters' that i want formated with a couple of clicks.

I've seen a couple of examples that used other methods, but i really want to work with ID:CS and XML, if i have to script something, i'm willing to learn.

see below for xml example and the hoped for end result.
