APAGear - Volume 5, Number 5 - August 2003
What do you know? We're on time this month! A hearty round of applause to everyone.
This month, we're testing out a template for submitting tactical scenarios. It's a plain old text template, not some unnecessarily complex web form to fill in. It should help authors to organize their tactical scenarios neatly and cleanly in a consistent fashion. To say that I didn't design it based on DP9's one-page tactical scenario layout would be to lie greatly. Hell, the template even includes DP9 markup code in it. Next month we'll maybe see a creature template and a vehicle template.
The important thing about these templates is that they wildly simplify my life, since I've got this nice little Perl-based translator I wrote that converts DP9 markup to HTML. I barely have to lift a finger to convert a document into HTML now.
Your Vaguely Humble Servant,
Christian Schaller
APAGear II Distribution Manager
