Community Suggestion: BBCode Generator from Json Variables
BBCode Generator from Json Variables
What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
I wanted to create a generator that takes in parameters from json and outputs them as part of a BBCode block. I required this since I wanted to work on a LitRPG Project where I would need a Statblock regularly an I did not want to create a Variable or Table for every time I needed a new block since I would need to leave the article, open the respective interface, create it, and then include it in the original article.
I also didn't want to copy and pace the original bbcode into every article that needs it since this aproach is prone to error.
How does this feature request address the current situation?
This feature would create a new type of generator that takes in json variables but instead of using it to make routing decissions it would use the input straigth.
What are other uses for this feature request?
The generator could maybe even use the input to calculate some basic arithmatic(+-*/).
It might also be able to use the Check utility from the template generator so that only when a variable is set it displays a section.
Please feel free to suggest more uses in your votes.

The Team's Response
Thanks for the suggestion—unfortuantely, this would require a lot of development time for a highly technical feature that a very small minority of users seem to be interested in.13/300 Votes · +3602 points

on 2023-04-08 21:37Perhaps as an alternative, you could have the functionality to send from a table to a stat block template. Tables already support multiple import methods. This would also allow for the data to be used in multiple alternative ways without reimporting it or storing multiple copies. This would reduce long term maintenance/editing cost for writers. Bonus points if the tables can be mapped to a google-sheet so that they update automagically. Extreme Legendary bonus points if the statblocks auto-updated their values when the tables updated. God Mode Bonus if it is actually easy to use. :P

on 2023-04-07 07:34Yes, please! Though I would just have it as variables or statblocks with parameters and some kind of formatter syntax!
