Auto-Encoding of HTML Entities in Advanced Macros

I've been working on a tool to automatically encode HTML entities as required in advanced macros with many nested drop downs, the intention being to make it easier to create macros with "branching" (all outcomes from several paths manually added to the macro). I've tested it with several macros so far, but would like to ask for additional complicated macros to test with. Ideally OGL D&D5e (as that what I have a sheet set up to test with), but ones from any system will do. One of the macros I've tested it with: ?{Level: |Level 1, ?{Single Target?|Yes, [[3d4 + 3]] |No, ?{Number of targets? |1, ?{Missiles to 1st Target|1, [[1d4+1]] + "A1" |2, [[2d4+2]] + "A2" |3, [[3d4+3]] + "A3" } |2, ?{Missiles to 1st Target|1, [[1d4+1]] + "A1" |2, [[2d4+2]] + "A2" |3, [[3d4+3]] + "A3" } ?{Missiles to 2nd Target|1, [[1d4+1]] + "B1" |2, [[2d4+2]] + "B2" |3, [[3d4+3]] + "B3" } |3, ?{Missiles to 1st Target|1, [[1d4+1]] + "A1" |2, [[2d4+2]] + "A2" |3, [[3d4+3]] + "A3" } ?{Missiles to 2nd Target|1, [[1d4+1]] + "B1" |2, [[2d4+2]] + "B2" |3, [[3d4+3]] + "B3" } ?{Missiles to 3rd Target|1, [[1d4+1]] + "C1" |2, [[2d4+2]] + "C2" |3, [[3d4+3]] + "C3" } } } |Level 2, ?{Single Target?|Yes, [[4d4+4]]|No, ?{Number of targets? |1, ?{Missiles to 1st Target|1, [[1d4+1]] |2, [[2d4+2]] |3, [[3d4+3]] |4, [[4d4+4]] } |2, ?{Missiles to 1st Target|1, [[1d4+1]] |2, [[2d4+2]] |3, [[3d4+3]] |4, [[4d4+4]] } ?{Missiles to 2nd Target|1, [[1d4+1]] |2, [[2d4+2]] |3, [[3d4+3]] |4, [[4d4+4]] } |3, ?{Missiles to 1st Target|1, [[1d4+1]] |2, [[2d4+2]] |3, [[3d4+3]] |4, [[4d4+4]] } ?{Missiles to 2nd Target|1, [[1d4+1]] |2, [[2d4+2]] |3, [[3d4+3]] |4, [[4d4+4]] } ?{Missiles to 3rd Target|1, [[1d4+1]] |2, [[2d4+2]] |3, [[3d4+3]] |4, [[4d4+4]] } |4, ?{Missiles to 1st Target|1, [[1d4+1]] |2, [[2d4+2]] |3, [[3d4+3]] |4, [[4d4+4]] } ?{Missiles to 2nd Target|1, [[1d4+1]] |2, [[2d4+2]] |3, [[3d4+3]] |4, [[4d4+4]] } ?{Missiles to 3rd Target|1, [[1d4+1]] |2, [[2d4+2]] |3, [[3d4+3]] |4, [[4d4+4]] } ?{Missiles to 4th Target|1, [[1d4+1]] |2, [[2d4+2]] |3, [[3d4+3]] |4, [[4d4+4]] } } } } Encoded: ?{Level: |Level 1, ?{Single Target?|Yes, [[3d4 + 3]] |No, ?{Number of targets? |1, ?{Missiles to 1st Target|1, [[1d4+1]] + "A1" |2, [[2d4+2]] + "A2" |3, [[3d4+3]] + "A3" } |2, ?{Missiles to 1st Target|1, [[1d4+1]] + "A1" |2, [[2d4+2]] + "A2" |3, [[3d4+3]] + "A3" } ?{Missiles to 2nd Target|1, [[1d4+1]] + "B1" |2, [[2d4+2]] + "B2" |3, [[3d4+3]] + "B3" } |3, ?{Missiles to 1st Target|1, [[1d4+1]] + "A1" |2, [[2d4+2]] + "A2" |3, [[3d4+3]] + "A3" } ?{Missiles to 2nd Target|1, [[1d4+1]] + "B1" |2, [[2d4+2]] + "B2" |3, [[3d4+3]] + "B3" } ?{Missiles to 3rd Target|1, [[1d4+1]] + "C1" |2, [[2d4+2]] + "C2" |3, [[3d4+3]] + "C3" } } } |Level 2, ?{Single Target?|Yes, [[4d4+4]]|No, ?{Number of targets? |1, ?{Missiles to 1st Target|1, [[1d4+1]] |2, [[2d4+2]] |3, [[3d4+3]] |4, [[4d4+4]] } |2, ?{Missiles to 1st Target|1, [[1d4+1]] |2, [[2d4+2]] |3, [[3d4+3]] |4, [[4d4+4]] } ?{Missiles to 2nd Target|1, [[1d4+1]] |2, [[2d4+2]] |3, [[3d4+3]] |4, [[4d4+4]] } |3, ?{Missiles to 1st Target|1, [[1d4+1]] |2, [[2d4+2]] |3, [[3d4+3]] |4, [[4d4+4]] } ?{Missiles to 2nd Target|1, [[1d4+1]] |2, [[2d4+2]] |3, [[3d4+3]] |4, [[4d4+4]] } ?{Missiles to 3rd Target|1, [[1d4+1]] |2, [[2d4+2]] |3, [[3d4+3]] |4, [[4d4+4]] } |4, ?{Missiles to 1st Target|1, [[1d4+1]] |2, [[2d4+2]] |3, [[3d4+3]] |4, [[4d4+4]] } ?{Missiles to 2nd Target|1, [[1d4+1]] |2, [[2d4+2]] |3, [[3d4+3]] |4, [[4d4+4]] } ?{Missiles to 3rd Target|1, [[1d4+1]] |2, [[2d4+2]] |3, [[3d4+3]] |4, [[4d4+4]] } ?{Missiles to 4th Target|1, [[1d4+1]] |2, [[2d4+2]] |3, [[3d4+3]] |4, [[4d4+4]] } } } } No code published anywhere yet but should be on GitHub in the near future. The tool is written in Typescript.

Pitfall to consider: Attribute calls in nested queries don't require html encoding. You've likely got that covered but would hate for it to trip you up!

Yep, thanks for the reminder - I've already ran into that issue, and managed to handle it.
