BFRPG ODT formatting issues

Structural quirks found while building the extractor. The rendered output looks fine in both cases; the difference only shows up in the raw XML. Logged for upstream reporting to the BFRPG project.

All issues are in Basic-Fantasy-RPG-Rules-r142.odt (4th Edition, Release 142, February 22, 2025).

Bestiary

  • Swamp Dragon age table heading (p. ~85): Every other dragon age table embeds its title in row 0. The Swamp Dragon's "Swamp Dragon Age Table" heading is a standalone paragraph immediately before the table instead.

General

  • Typographic quotes throughout: The source uses Unicode curly apostrophes (U+2019 ') and quote marks rather than ASCII equivalents. Ensure fixture strings are pasted without alteration from the source. If an editor swaps those characters out for ASCII equivalents, the tests will fail.

Spells

  • Split SpellHeading format (8 spells): The standard layout is two paragraphs — SpellHeading (name\tRange:\tvalue) then SpellSubHeading (class level\tDuration:\tvalue). Eight spells have names long enough that Range is pushed to a new line, which in the ODT becomes a third paragraph: SpellHeading (name only) → SpellMidHeading (class level\tRange:\tvalue) → SpellSubHeading (\tDuration:\tvalue, empty class part). Affected: Cure Serious Wounds, Hallucinatory Terrain, Invisibility 10' Radius, Protection from Evil, Protection from Evil 10' Radius, Protection from Normal Missiles, Purify Food and Water, Speak with Monsters.
