Has anyone figured out how to get this template to print large characters without the bleedover, ie cleaner printing?

At this point, there has been little done to modify the default export template for paging (to my knowledge). Support does exist in the export process for splitting large single groups of items across pages....but not for splitting multiple groups.

For example, you can say "List powers 1-20 here....List powers 21-40 here....etc."

but you can't say "List Skills 1-20 here....if there are fewer than 20 Skills, then fill in the remainder with Perks....etc.)

I will eventually work in the latter type of logic, but that is looking like it will be a v2 thing.

At this point, I don't believe that anyone has even taken the first logic type into account in their templates, so paging is still pretty primitive.

As such, you're best off using the Default Character Sheet template for "regular" sized characters. For large characters that you want to print out, I'd recommend some of the WG formatted templates. They are based off of a more "open" format which allows for page breaks in the middle of sections.

How did I miss that? Very cool. Is that a container property?

Yup. It's even in the documentation ;)

It's encompassed in the &lt;!--START--&gt;&lt;!--/START--&gt; and &lt;!--STOP--&gt;&lt;!--/STOP--&gt; tags.

The START tag indicates the index to start on...the stop tag indicates the index to stop on.
