I know it is convenient to have a field for entering info you prefer to display, on the other hand it might be useful to have a selection of fields for display, such as place of marriage & date or place of last known residence/occupancy or just "married > divoced" with or without date, just like we have display options for individuals.

Any comments to this?

Yes, at the moment I do the same, but I would like to set the label display to a default value, picked up from the vast data fields (or a combination of fields), like I can set the display of all individuals.

For the report generator, I had to write some routines to format text. Those routines have been designed to be reused in other parts of GenoPro. One routine is a "tag formatter" to format text by concatening tag values.

{marriage.date} {marriage.religious.place}
{relation}

In this example, the resulting text would be the concatenation of the marriage date, place and relation on a separate line. There are multiple options to have the text on separate lines, truncated to a maximum number of characters, conditional branching and "smart formatting". I have not yet finalized this routine, so I won't write more about it to give myself the flexibility to improve it.

It will be easy to use this "tag formatter" and let the user to specify a default formatting template for the marriage/family label.

For a complete list of tag names, visit the Tag Definitions dialog (Menu -> Tools -> Tag Definitions). The same tag formatter will be accessible to create user-defined tags for individuals.
