<h3>Introduction to the My_Dataset Files</h3>
<p class="indent0">The <span class="lstfile">my_dataset</span> files form a framework for building a dataset for use with PCGen. It is meant to be used
- by beginners, or not so beginners, who want to take their first steps in entering their own custom data into PCGen and have found that the built-in
- List Editors are too limiting for what they intend to do. The <span class="lstfile">my_dataset</span> files consist of a collection of LST files, one
- each for the different LST objects possible in PCGen. Copy these files into your own folder to make your dataset, leaving the original
- <span class="lstfile">my_dataset</span> files as a clean template for future use. You can rename the copied files to anything you wish but it is
- generally a good idea to use some part of the name for the RPG source material you plan on encoding. Also it is a good idea to retain the type of
- LST object contained in the file as part of the file names. An example of this might be <span class="lstfile">rsrd_feat.lst</span> for the file
- containing the feats for WotC's Revised Standard Reference Document. For the purposes of this class though we will continue using the standard
- <span class="lstfile">my_dataset,lst</span> naming convention. To use this template you will find the LST file corresponding to the kind of LST
- object you wish to create, e.g. <span class="lstfile">my_classes.lst</span> if you want to add a new class, and enter your new data there. Each
- LST file includes an example to give you a feel for how an entry in that particular type of file would look like.</p>
