Statblock generator: Enhancing default [MON] and [MONS] placeholder values

Hi there,
First of all, thanks for this magnificently simple-to-use D&D goodie!
Just some enhancement ideas:

  • When using the [MON] or [MONS] placeholders, the monster's name appears with a capital letter in the rendered text which seems quite unnatural (unless overridden). Since (at least in the Monster's Manual), monster names in ability descriptions are always lowercase, I think it should be possible to do this globally. (Another option would be to link this behavior to a checkbox or introducing [mon] and [mons] placeholder for the lowercased versions, beside of the currently existing ones.)
  • Currently, the default [MONS] value is the same as [MON] which is (almost) always grammatically incorrect - why not just change it to [MON]s?
  • (An even cleaner attempt would be to capitalize at the beginning of a sentence and use the lowercase ones otherwise - but this may lead too far ;-))
  • And, some placeholders (like [MONS]) aren't documented in the "Show formatting help" section, which is quite a pity.

PS: Yep, that's definitely too much for a single issue... Sorry for that.
