Summary: Output of JEP values in output sheet unintuitive

Initial Comment:
System:
Windows XP SP1
Java: 1.5.07
PCGen version: 5.12.0

BUG the third:

If I put in the following

<abilityCount>|count("ABILITIES", "CATEGORY=Maneuver")|</abilityCount>

Then the output comes out as:

<abilityCount>count"ABILITIES", "CATEGORY=Maneuver"</abilityCount>

Correct syntax should be <abilityCount>|VAR.count("ABILITIES",
"CATEGORY=Maneuver")|</abilityCount>

I'm going to let Kar/James choose 5.14 or not, but "unintuitive" is not a
Bug.

The JEP function can be output using the following syntax:
|VAR.0+count["ABILITIES", "CATEGORY=Salient Divine Ability"]|

The round brackets () are stripped due to maths mode being activated when
they are there. It is intended that you can replace these with square
brackets [] but these are only changed back to round brackets if math mode
is activated which is why the 0+ at the start is required.

There are several possible fixes including stopping round brackets from
activating math mode and allowing square brackets to activate maths mode.
However these would affect the core of the export handler code and I think
that would be too risky for a quick fix prod release. As a result I am
moving this back to the 5.14 queue.
