Creating custom citation template...

Post by fhtess65 » 15 Dec 2020 16:05

Hi there,

I'm enjoying all the new aspects of FH7, however, I'm wondering if there's a way to create a Free Form template. I have one in RootsMagic that is minimal, but that allows me to enter my citations in my preferred manner (it's a mash-up of the methods used by Ian Macdonald and Elizabeth Shown Mills).

I can work with the included templates, but had hoped to be able to add my own Free Form one.

Thanks.

Start with Tools > Source Template Definitions and click New. You will definitely want to read the Help, and create it a bit at a time, testing as you go.
