Just in time. Looks like I finally have a use case. Going to be digging in so I can see how much of the Frontier Space Sector, System and Planet generation tables can be automated. I'm sure I will be asking questions

Performance optimizations and minor tweaks are included in this release of Story Template Enhanced (extension) (version 1.8).

Work completed in this release:

• Added parser caching to speed up recursion.
• Added incremental parsing of template text on paragraph boundaries.
• Enhanced template text evaluation for more accurate warning messages.
• Added CPU elapsed time to chat output for each template run.
• Tested against Story Template Enhanced - examples templates.
• Tested against Content Generator 2020 5E templates.

I'm currently investigating how to make use of the progress bar in FGU for visual status when Run Templates in Group is activated from the Story Template index window. I'm not sure it's possible to interleave UI updates while looping through the Story Templates included in the run. Information/code examples appreciated if available.

Today's release (version 1.9) of Story Templates Enhanced (extension) includes work that extends parser caching to function evaluations.
