Battle Reports

By: Peter Kolak

---

If you want to take a battle report and post it on a website, here's what you have to do:

A. Taking the scribe report and putting it in Word.

1. First, you must view a battle report via your scribe report.
   
2. Click on "View Source".
   
3. Copy the source by either right clicking and pressing "Copy" or using "Ctrl P".
   
4. Open up a Word Document.
   
5. Right click and select "Paste" or simply type "Ctrl V".
   

B. Editing the text for the web page. Use "Find and Replace" and follow the next 13 steps.

1. Replace "<Char" with "<".
   
2. Replace "</Char" with "<".
   
3. Replace "<_" with "<". (Where as "_" is equal to ONE blank space.)
   
4. Replace "<^#^#^#^#^#>" with "". (Meaning, don't replace it with anything, just leave the replace section blank.
   
5. Replace "<^#^#^#^#>" with "".
   
6. Replace "<^#^#^#>" with "".
   
7. Replace "<^#^#>" with "".
   
8. Replace "< p >" with "< br >" (There are no spaces between the "<" and the "p".
   
9. Replace "#DDDDDD" with "#00FFFF".
   
10. Replace "#FFFFFF" with "#FFDD11".
    
11. Replace "#E0E0FF" with "#FF00DD".
    
12. Delete top several rows that contains header information.
    
13. Delete very last info: "</Body></HTML>".
    

C. Preview and make sure it looks good.

Having used these steps quite often in the Falasan Inquirer, I found them to be incredibly useful, but here are some modifications which will help fix some of the bugs I found.

A. -no change

B. Editing the text for the web page. Use "Find and Replace" and follow the next 13 steps.

1. Replace "<Char" with "<".
   
2. Replace "</Char" with "<".
   
3. Replace "<_" with "<". (Where as "_" is equal to ONE blank space.)
   
4. Replace "<^#^#^#^#^#>" with "". (Meaning, don't replace it with anything, just leave the replace section blank.
   
5. Replace "<^#^#^#^#>" with "".
   
6. Replace "<^#^#^#>" with "".
   
7. Replace "<^#^#>" with "". (never found any of these myself)
   
8. Replace "< p >" with "< br >" (There are no spaces between the "<" and the "p".
   
9. Replace "#DDDDDD" with "#00FFFF".
   
10. Replace "#FFFFFF" with "#FFDD11".
    
11. Replace "#E0E0FF" with "#FF00DD".
    
12. Delete top several rows that contains header information. Delete everything above and including the following phrase found near the beginning "Scribe Note, X turns old:"
    
13. Delete very last info: "</Body></HTML>".

"

</BODY>

</HTML><script language='javascript'>postamble();</script>"

RubyDragon's Additions
After doing B (with modifications, carry out the following:

1. Replace "<>" with "".This removes all those odd "<>" speckling the report
   
2. Replace "</FONT<" with "<" I noticed that if this weren't done, after a certain point all writing became yellow)
   
3. Preview the battle report. You should notice a near the top. It is located after the "Scribe Note: Battle in XXXYYY", immediately behind "FormationCS"

C. Preview, make sure it looks good, and edit out anything that looks weird.
