That would be awesome.
The &# ... special characters appear in all three of my compendiums. Is there special treatment of the monster compendium regarding character encoding?
Those character codes are parsed during import for the compendiums. The text input system used by the app doesn't automatically convert them though.
I will probably add a check after text input to convert those type of text during input ;) I found those type of text in most xml compendiums. I didn’t expect the use-case of entering them manually.
Interesting but in my case I did not enter the codes manually. I imported an XML file so I can't tell you why the codes did not get parsed properly. I have been using epicGM for quite a while already so maybe back when I first imported the XML file the parsing of these codes did not work properly or maybe something else is going on.
Sadly atm I can't test if resetting and reimporting the compendium would help because the file picker is broken in Linux.
I first imported the files in Windows and have since then just copied the compendium around/used Dropbox to sync it.
