Hi Cathy,
I tried that, but when I tried to open the page in my code editor
(Brackets), I got a message saying "Brackets currently only supports
UTF-8 encoded text files." I wonder if it's worth it to try a different
code editor? I assume that if I used one that were able to open the
page, it would already be formatted for me and I could make global
changes more easily than if I were trying to do so "from scratch," is
that true?
Thanks,
Barton

Barton,
Why aren't you using the option of creating the Book report in HTML
format and then editing that to add more?
The option is in the same place you found the RTF option.

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?

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 form
at 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,
Barton
