 No. I’m saying that no program is necessary after the initial generation of the big chart (which I was gonna do with the Breeding Chart code, but you wanted to do it manually).

 After the initial generation, people have already entered data into different position on the tables. Obviously with stuff like the Breeding Calculator it’s very easy to add a dragon, but the Breeding Results page is not the same thing since there is user-inputted data there.

 Using a program that re-generates tables every time a new dragon comes out is silly, because you would have to re-replicate the data again. For things that require data preservation when adding simple modifications such as a new dragon, using regular expressions is much more sensible. You don’t need to re-compute everything, you just have to find a regexp pattern and replace those. It takes typing one line in a text editor. Very quick and very reliable.
