Did you know that the description field (the little "notebook" that is displayed at the end of the Place field) for any Fact or image can be used for just about anything? This enables quite a lot of extra information to be added to a person's details.

Not only that, but you can used HTML commands within the text (just like with "Notes"). This can be extremely useful. If you have, say, multiple Residences or Occupations, you can format these so that are much more easily read. When applicable you can also include any link - either to an external URL or another page within TP. For example, if you are citing a picture of someone's property, you can incorporate a link to the relevant Google Map (or any other map source).

See the Reference URL that I have included in this message for examples of where I have used HTML in the Fact and Image Description fields.

Hi Ian is this the one, as since Hospital my mind not so clear. If so I have been using it for years. Please correct me me if I am wrong.

All the best

Got no idea what you are trying to convey Les.

Where the RED line is.

Is this the NOTEBOOK that you are adding the HTML too. and where is it on other pages

All the Best

Les

No - I am talking about the various "Description" fields available within TP. When you edit, just about every Fact has an accompanying Description field and HTML can be used in these as well as in the Notes field. I just thought that many people, even those that put HTML into their Notes, might not have thought of including them in other areas as well. It would seem that HTML can be used and recognised throughout TP.

Hi Ian & Les,

I am wondering if this could help in some way, to create a Marker for the lines where we have verified DNA Matches.

At the moment, when I find out how a DNA Match is related, I create a DNA Tree which explains our connection and then add the Name of every person on those Lines of connection to the Tree Image. See example below.

However, unless you spend time looking for this detail in Family View, these DNA Matches do not really stand out.

So I started a couple of sections in 'Stories' and also made a DNA Photo Album where I have added every DNA Tree.

I wonder if there could be a more dynamic way of making these Verified DNA Matches really stand out whatever way the Tree is viewed? eg When using the Tree, Ancestors or Descendants View.

I must say that I make this request in fear & trepidation, because my knowledge of html is very very basic - I would hate to destroy my Tree after 14 years of building it up.

Thanks for all your helpful comments over the years - I do not always comment & have not always said Thank You, but I do sincerely appreciate your responses... at the very least they have encouraged me, by showing that someone has read my queries & concerns!

Kindest regards,

Linda

PS. Please Get Well Soon Les - you are very much appreciated here.

hi Ian brain not working too we. Yes HTML can be used practically anywhere. but I am not clear on what you say PITY ME

Can you give me a SCREEN SHOT of one of them.

All the Best

Les

Looks as if I am still not well

No problem Les. The point you make is the very point I was trying to make known. That you can use HTML almost anywhere on TP. I felt that many people might not realise this, or might not think of it as a solution.

Shouldn't need a screen shot as my original message deliberately set out to demonstrate some places where the HTML could be used. I have repeated the URL here as a related link.

Regards,

Ian Marr
