Good idea on the subtypes. That was one of the first I did and before I became familiar with Regex enough for that to be trivial. I leave the dice because...

Okay, made some changes. Notes below: ________________________________________ From: d20-xml@yahoogroups.com [mailto:d20-xml@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of ...
While I agree that the regex is simple enough for hitdice, and for many of the standard notations for d20, I can see it getting more complex when you introduce...
K. File is updated with the SubType change. I added a <SubTypes> tag to hold em (I prefer to have a container item for multiples if only to ensure that...
Hello all! ... Regarding the regex of the die string: Even if you just want to parse something like "1d6+4", the regex would allow false strings like "0d0"....
