>but beyond that its adding the special rules, wargear, and options into their own box
And this is exactly what Im trying to hammer home. Sorted data (i.e. in the right box) can be parsed very easily. Handing off unsorted data means someone will have to re-type it all into sorted data. Be that in affinity publisher or in notepad.
Here is an example of how I do things in my homebrew, showing off a piece or wargear, a weapon, and a unit entry. You can see that all data is sorted into a relevant box, such as \name{} \uentry{} \wargear{}. The data put into this box is raw, and then it gets parsed and formatted the way the template specifies, such as adding the bold word "Wargear" right above the list of wargear the unit has. Over on the right you can see how I bold the weapon and wargear names, while I italicize the description. This all happens under the hood, and if I wanted to later I can change the format easily enough, so long as the data is binned properly.
Many hands make light work like you said, and if we can get those hands to put the data into the right box from the get go it will be the biggest single improvement we could make. Please keep in mind that these are only examples, but the finer you sort the data the easier everyone's life becomes.
