2e would be the easiest to do, since everything is available as an RTF
file.

The 5e assembly is slow, because I have to cut and paste from the PDF,
and each line has a hard return at the end of it, which requires cleanup.

I'll try and put together at least a quick proof of concept to see what I
am thinking of doing.
