Running dotapatch

Head over to the folder where you saved the changelog file and run dotapatch:

$ cd changelogs
$ dotapatch 706f
INFO Parsing 7.06f
INFO HTML saved at /home/arthurazs/changelogs/706f.html
INFO 7.06f conversion went smoothly.

Note

If the HTML page shows some of the heroes/items as [[hero_name]] instead of the hero/item's picture, run the following:

$ dotapatch --update-data
INFO Downloading itemdata from dota2's heropediadata
INFO Updated itemdata saved successfully
INFO Downloading herodata from dota2's heropediadata
INFO Updated herodata saved successfully

This will require internet connection and may take a while but it will ensure that the HeropediaData gets up-to-date.
