After some more playing around, I discovered that there was still a bug. In
one of my previous posts, I should some pictures of a couple of the outputs
of my macro. If you look at Carl Anders Fehr, you will notice that he had
two spouses and children by both. They macro worked great when he was the
starting person, but if one of his spouses were the starting person, the
macro would show all of Carl's children and not just the children of that
particular spouse. After noodling it for a while and sleeping on it, I
realized what the problem was. I needed to subtract the children that
didn't belong. The following new macro fixes that problem:
\define each-other-level()
<$list filter="[all[current]]" variable="Parent">
<ol>
<$list filter=
"[title<currentTiddler>tagging[]sortan[birth]tags[]!title<currentTiddler>]">
<li>
with: <$link><$view field='caption'><$view field='title'/></$view></
$link>
<$list filter=
"[title<currentTiddler>tagging[]limit[1]has[parents-marriage]]">
-> married: <$macrocall $name="date-str" date={{!!parents-marriage
}}/>
</$list>
<ol>
<$list
filter="[title<currentTiddler>kin:tags:to:1[]sortan[birth]!title<currentTiddler>]
-[!kin:tags:to<Parent>]">
<li>
<$link><$view field='caption'><$view field='title'/></$view></
$link> -> born: <$macrocall $name="date-str" date={{!!birth}}/>
<<each-other-level>>
</li>
</$list>
</ol>
</li>
</$list>
</ol>
</$list>
\end
\define descendants()
''Descendants of <$view field='caption'><$view field='title'/></$view>''
<<each-other-level>>
\end
Assuming I don't find any bugs in this one, then it's off to investigate
using fields instead of tags as Tony has suggested
