I have not changed the :TITLE setting to try bold or underlined, but it did work in terms of <i></i> being placed around the website title in the ged file. I did see the message re: Edit > Undo plugin but I wonder if there is any way to make it more prominent? Thanks for all your help on this. There...

I had overlooked the effect of BOOK and TITLE qualifiers. When I get a moment I'll investigate if it is possible to support them with all the possible Preferences settings. Since they are not supported by the Record Title Format template, I suspect it involves catering for all the Preferences setti...

Try the attached Export Gedcom File plugin Version 5.2.4 Date 09 Mar 2023 Zip file. Just a quick note/question? On my first test, I edited the template definition and wrapped the website title in angle brackets and included the <i>. So in the template definition, it looked like this: <<i>{Website_T...

Try the attached Export Gedcom File plugin Version 5.2.4 Date 09 Mar 2023 Zip file. I've only run a single test, with just one source. But it did work! To be clear, my steps were: 1. Create a copy of the definition Advanced template for Census, Digitized online. 2. Edit the copy to wrap the website...

It will be a few hours before I can get to it, but I will try it tonight! Thanks!

Lumped Source Splitter plugin . Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do much for me. That is because I created my own custom templates that have just one "master" field (or source level field) and one to three "detail" fields (or citation level fields). When I ran the plugin against a couple of my sou...

I think that was a very good video! I am currently just a couple of days into evaluating fh7, trying to decide whether to switch from RM7, and it was very helpful. Definitely clarified that as I switch, or even if I stay on RM7 for now, I'll become more of a splitter than I am now. I also watched th...

I read on another forum this weekend that the latest version of Rootsmagic will import GEDCOM 7. It also does a direct load to and from ancestry. I just saw a post in the RM users group on facebook. Their employee says GEDCOM 7 is not officially supported. That's not to say that it might not work o...

Thanks so much for looking in to this and potentially developing a solution!

But also...at least I know I wasn't doing something wrong!

ah! I hadn't made the connection yet...or hadn't paid enough attention to notice that you were the author of that plugin! :lol: awesome! The use of italic codes has been around in RM for a long time. Definitely RM7 which I am still using as my primary software for now, but also I'm pretty sure they ...

Image 4: the resulting ged file in notepad. notice, no <i> </i> around Ancestry. If I can get those angle brackets in place on an export, then if/when I go back and forth between FH7 and RM, the footnote at least will be properly formatted.

I must still be doing something wrong. I edited the definition like I mentioned above but still did not get the <i> and </i> in the ged file. So after export, I manually edited the ged file and added the <i> around the website title and then did my import into RM9 and that DID work. That is, in the ...

I noticed that it had options for both of those. I haven't played with those yet though. My first goal was to see about how the footnote exported! re: the reformat metafields...The program I am testing the import with is RootsMagic 9 which does allow the use of <i>italics</i> in the source fields. B...

I've also been having a look at whether it is possible to use templates in FH7 and still get a decent gedcom export of my sources. I knew the templates themselves would not transfer, but I wanted at least the resulting footnote from the template to transfer. I was failing miserably since it was the ...

For example, imagine you have a Field for the Name of the Principal person involved in a Source Citation. The definition <i>{Principal}</i> would italicise their whole name. The definition {Principal:GIVEN} <i>{Principal:SURNAME}</i> would italicise just their surname. There are functions that coul...

I have been trying to do some more reading. Regarding the use of italics...it looks like in a template you can have a particular field set to display in italics, but it is the entire field. In other words, you can not have just a certain word be italicized in the field it would be the whole field? A...

Hi! First post here and am evaluating FH7. I directly imported a copy of my RM7 file and for the most part, it all looks good and seems intact. When taking a closer look at some citations, I have noticed that either formatting has been lost...ie., a book title that was italicized in RM7 has lost the...
