Hi Gerald,
Good question. But I built my own website and taught myself how to code
to do it. I wanted a certain "look" and although I have seen that the
web pages generated by Legacy are attractive, I think I want to tweak
the presentation of the material. I have enjoyed learning html and css
and think I would enjoy the challenge. I'm at least game to give it a
try, but can always fall back on the web pages created by Legacy, if it
doesn't work out.

I don't know why you want to make all that extra work for yourself.
Isn't there an option to publish web pages? In the Internet menu --
there are all kinds of formats for the web pages you want -- you can
customize them in so many ways Wouldn't that be much simpler? Just one
click and it is done, without having to do any editing, although you can
do that too, if you like. Or did I miss the point?

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] coding register reports (descendant book
reports) for the web
Thanks, Jennie, but no, I have not tried that as I want to actually
enter the data as code (html) into my webpage.
But I think I found the solution: if I export to rtf as a descendant
book, as opposed to descendant narrative book, I do get tabs and spaces,
each with a unique format depending on the generation. So I should be
able to use either CSS or JS to manipulate the text into a particular
format of my choosing.

Hi Lewis,
Have you tried opening the report in a word processor such as Word and
saving it as a web page - not sure if this will work, but it may

I am trying to figure out how to create custom-styled register reports
("descendant book reports" in Legacy parlance) for the web; I am
building my genealogy website and would like to include the 1st 4
generations of my lines along with other data (images, narrative etc.)
on individual pages. I exported a descendant book report to RTF. The
result is a report which retains formatting but uses ruler indents and
if I just copy that text into a text editor, I will have to manually
format a lot of it using css. I was hoping to perhaps use Javascript to
somehow format levels of text differently but I am not proficient in
that language and don't know if I can do that. If anyone has had
experience coding their own register reports to create cutom-styled
formatting for the web, I would be interested in hearing. Thanks,
