It might be possible to whip up a script to strip out this information from the pulldown menu, but for now I'm using view-selection source and replacing the HTML tags. --Lint 19:58, 3 May 2006 (BST)

Same here, I cut and paste to microsoft word and then replace (wild cards) "\<*\>" with "" and "^p" with ", ^p". But a greasemonkey script that automatically shipped the data would be much more stylin. --Tycho44 20:03, 3 May 2006 (BST)

Formatting

I think the most useful way to display this information is to use a table with a row for each trading hut and a column for each item, like this:

(An "x" means that hut has that item. Also, I count 28 items in the game, so there are 28 item columns here). This would let people tell at a glance which items were rare, or where to find a certain item. It wouldn't let people track trader inventories over time, but I don't think that would be useful. Also, I would be glad to write a Greasemonkey script which would get a string (like "||x||x|| ||x...") from a trader's <select> tag, to make it easier for people to add to the table. — Elembis (talk) 04:25, 28 May 2006 (BST)
