About This File
I present to you the Lot Information Generator. This is a very small, stand-alone tool that allows you to load up a .sc4lot file, fill in a few fields, and generate a .html file (including a folder of images, if required) that includes the following:
Author of lot
Team author is a member of
Name of lot
Version of lot
dependencies (required prerequisit .dat files listed in the lots .LTD file)
Readme, typeable within the programs enterface
Statistical information, gathered from the lot building's exemplar.
This program makes use of XML technologies, including XML itself, and XSLT. As such, the output of this program is HIGHLY customizable. The program generates XML internally, and passes that through a .xslt file, which transforms the XML into HTML. You can edit the .xslt file and define your own style of html output. You can use images, and reorganize the layout of the resulting .html file as much as you like, without restrictions (as long as you stay within the HTML standard).
The resulting .html file can be included in your lots .zip as a complete readme that is largely automatically generated. Since you can completely customize the output, each lot editor/bat builder can have their own unique style of readme with their own images, etc.
