After glancing through a legends export, at least the DF-hack expanded ones, include details on creatures including generated creatures (#32)

It should be possible to add

XML parsing, specific to reading creature information
Way to "open" a legends export for the manual
Still support the searching and everything (maybe if you do the import, it won't parse Creatures from raws)
Maybe there is another way to indicate things or just add the ones that are missing (i.e. generated)?

Needs to support legends mode xml export via dfhack bonus data (which includes creatures and entities). https://github.com/DFHack/scripts/blob/master/exportlegends.lua

understand xml files
accept an xml file as input
probably iterate over the file somewhat similar to how we do now
it's possible we can leverage a library to parse XML which leaves just converting the <creature> and <entity> objects into our versions
