Note that this is a very quick thing. In particular, it only handles two levels of documentation in the manual, and it doesn't include images. Both would need to be fixed for this to actually be useful; however, this was entirely sufficient to drop a copy onto my phone where I could read it while my stupid mobile operator pretends to fix my network, sigh, etc.

    // is done in the same order that .findAll returns, so we make use of that.
    // Figma might decide to change this at any time, of course. It would be much

    // data as data-* attributes in the output SVG, but there isn't, yet.

A thing to convert a Gimp image of multiple layered sprites into a sprite sheet.

The way I make pixel art sprites is this: imagine you're drawing, say, a knight. I have all the frames for that knight in one great big Gimp XCF image, organised into groups.

So there's a layer group called "Running"; this defines a whole sprite, in multiple frames. In there, there's a set of layer groups, one per frame, called "Running 1" to "Running 9" (for example). In "Running 1", there's one or more layers which all go together to form that one single frame. This works out neatly because you can make an individual frame out of a few different parts, and edit those parts separately. This makes it easy to copy unchanging parts from one frame to the next, while just changing the bits that are different.
