How to use the parser

# open this parser.html in a text editor

# locate the list content between the following two lines:
<!-- replace the following list content with your list content -->
...
<!-- cut here -->

# edit the list content to reflect the structure of your lists, in which:
  - each <li> tag should be closed with the </li> tag
  - each <li> element will be mapped to an option in your select lists
  - if a <li> element has nested UL/LI list, the nested list will be mapped to a sub-list in your select lists

  - each <li> element should follow the format of
    <li>text,value,flag-of-default-selected</li>

  - the separator (,) used in the format above is defined in the parser.js and can be changed

  - according to the following formats, a <li> element will be converted to an option in your select lists:




<li>text</li><option value="text">text</option>


<li>text,[space],</li><option value="">text</option>


<li>text,value</li><option value="value">text</option>


<li>text,value,1</li><option value="value" selected>text</option>


<li>text,,1</li><option value="text" selected>text</option>


<li>text,[space],1</li><option value="" selected>text</option>




# once you have the UL/LI layout representing the structure of your lists
  - open the parser.html in a browser
  - fill in the name of the list group and click the [ Parse ] button
  - then save the output as the list group content
  - or you can click the [ Show ] button to preview the lists
