I had intended to create a video on the chapters file, but I never even finished the one for aliases. I might throw together some screenshots or something if I get a chance.
Basically, the name is just the name of the chapter (Chapter 1, or whatever other name it might have), start is the location that the chapter starts within the file, and end is the location where it ends.
I normally use Notepad++ to grab the locations. I look for the chapter in the book, place the cursor there, then highlight from that point back to the beginning of the book and the "Sel" value on the bottom bar of N++ is the offset.

Yeah, the aliases only apply to characters that can be located in the data source (Goodreads, XML, txt, etc).
Previously you could just edit Shelfari to add any characters, but now with the shift to Goodreads it's not an option. You have a couple options:
  • Hit the 'Save Goodreads Info to XML' button, which will export the existing data to the xml folder. You can then modify it to add your characters. I'm not sure how technical you are, you'd have to know a bit about XML to make sure you follow the correct format.
  • Create a .txt file with the characters and descriptions. Example format for that:
    Code:
    Character
    John Smith
    Description of John Smith
    Character
    Sam Smith
    Description of Sam Smith
    etc
    Keeping in mind that the word 'Character' needs to precede each one
In both cases, you would then set the source button to File and choose your file.

If you keep using Goodreads as a source, you can use the alias file so it will match the Spanish version of a name (eg Peter|Pedro). It wouldn't show up in the character descriptions (it would still show the English form), though.
However, if you go the XML/TXT file route, you can put the names in their Spanish form there. Since it wouldn't be using Goodreads anymore, the builder wouldn't know about the English ones at all!
