Several ways to display a character.
A specific character. Consists of a full description, plus skills, advantages and combat stats. May choose to display a limited amount of detail.
<character name=“Fred”/>
More than one character can be grouped together into a set, using the <characters/> element. This just contains one or more <character/> children. The advantage of doing this is that a role can be applied to the set. For example:
<characters role=“package” title=“Noble characters”/>
This method is normally used in an encyclopedia. The @role declares it ready for export, in this case as a set of character packages.
Can be imported from another file:
<import-characters href=“foo.yags” name=“Fred” display=“full”/>
A package is used to create a beginning character. For Yags, consists of a set of skills and possible some advantages. For d20, a package is a class.
A rogues gallery is an example character at a given experience level.
