Consider Handlebars as templating/output formatting engine

[amis92]

Format should define also output type, it might be a MIME type for example, or sth else. Default being plain text. Markdown and HTML as options?

[amis92]

Extract FormatEditor component that can edit a RosterFormat object.

[amis92]

Use PRE for output display.

Allow direct HTML (unescaped) output. IFRAME?

So to clarify, the goal is to come up with some ideas on how to present the formatted output of a roster right? :)

[amis92]

Well, we need both ideas, and actual templates to be written, so yes, but also templates. :D

[amis92]

Markdown template prototype:

{{roster.name}} ({{roster.gameSystemName}}) {{> costs roster}}

{{#each roster.forces}}
- {{> force}}
{{/each}}

{{#*inline "costs" ~}}
{{#if costs ~}}
[
{{~#each costs as |cost| ~}}
    {{#if cost.value ~}}
    {{cost.value}} {{cost.name ~}}{{#unless @last}}, {{/unless}}
    {{~/if ~}}
{{/each ~}}
]
{{~/if}}
{{~/inline}}

{{#*inline "force"}}
**{{name}} ({{catalogueName}})** {{> costs}}
{{#each selections}}
- {{> selection ~}}
{{/each ~}}
{{/inline}}

{{#*inline "selection"}}
**{{name}}** {{> costs }}
{{#each selections}}
  - {{> selection ~}}
{{/each ~}}
{{/inline}}
