Hello,
I've finished a python script that parses AAR threads on the Paradox Forum to transform it into an epub. (For those awful times when you do not have an internet connexion). It's fairly basic and I'm sure there are many case where it will break but I've tested it on several AAR and it works in most cases (that's QA for you). The author of the AAR must have posted a table of content in the first page of the thread for it to work, though.
You can get the script on github. (You'll need to know how to install python dependencies but that's rather easy). Beware, if there are heavy images in the AAR, the epub can be rather hefty ("O flower of scotland", e.g., weighs almost 200Mo).
If any Paradox employee reads this : what is your policy regarding automatic parsing of the forum ? Do you tolerate it ? If you don't, I'm sorry and I'll delete my repo. If you do, you guys rock. (And if you really, really don't care about webcrawling, can I multiprocess this thing so it doesn't take an hour to download a long AAR ?)
