Sentence for a still birth

Post by dewilkinson »

I have used the Stillborn option on the Death Fact but I don't like the way it just adds aged Stillborn to the end of the sentence. I can't see a way of improving this sentence using the Fact Type editor. A steer would be most welcome in case I have missed something simple. Is the only option to customise the sentence for this entry?

Something like the following might be suitable:

{individual} {=TextIf(%FACT.AGE% = "Stillborn","was stillborn","died")} <of {cause}> {date} {place}{=TextIf(%FACT.AGE% = "Stillborn","",Text(" aged ".%FACT.AGE%))}.

But if there are only a few, editing the specific Death Sentence template is probably easiest.

BTW: Will you have similar problems with Death ages of Infant and Child which add to the complexity?

Mike,

Many thanks, I didn't think I'd missed anything obvious.
