Formatted Lore, Conditional Powers

Apparently I missed a format of power. Instead of having name (action;recharge) these powers have name (trigger;recharge). So I modified the parser to handle these. I put their action as "Conditional" and the trigger is placed in the shortdescription of the power (very similar to the Immediate Reaction/Immediate Interrupt).

I also fixed the one case (Sword Wraith) where the Regeneration line is in the wrong place. Or more accurately a different place.

And finally, because it vexxed me, I wrote a much better Lore formatting routine. Instead of bolding when it sees a DC or : it now bolds only when it finds a DC ##: set.
It also draws frames. Frames are drawn from the : to the next DC or paragraph open/close. Unfortunately this means you can not put paragraph markers inside of Lore frames. Oh well...maybe I'll figure out a way to do that some day.

The new version of the parser should go up on FUM tonight.

Same stuff, just more files.

Although some PHB files are almost total markup. The weapons,armor,equip.

On the plus side, true powers and magic items need 0 mark up.
