1. Cause of Death: Because of a combination of the translation of the Cause of Death Tags and the use of 'by' in the Report Generator, odd combinations occur such as 'by due to medical problem' in the report. Suggestion - include the appropriate preposition as part of the Cause of Death Tag translation, eg Stroke T="from a stroke", GivingBirth T="during childbirth", Abortion T="following an abortion", etc. and omit the 'by' in the script.
2. If an individual has had more than one marriage, the Report reads that the individual has x husband or wives. It would be preferable to say that the individual has been/was married x times.
3. The marriages can be reported in the wrong order when no date information exists. It is fairly common not to have date information, and could be overcome by the use of a Marriage Number Tag under Family Properties as with Child Number under Individual Properties (this may have been suggested previously).
4. The Report Generator appears to ignore the information in the Relation Tag under Family Properties, with the result that apparently any sort of relation is reported as a marriage (I haven't tested all the relationships, but certainly engagements and living together do so).

1. If the relationship is not specified, I assume they are together.  You get "He has a wife named ..." rather than "He had a wife named".

2. I fixed the case where multiple spouses could display "has" instead of "had".

3. I corrected the phrase "He burial was".  This was because the text from the enumeration BodyDisposition was not corresponding with the phrase PhBuried.

Can you send me a screen shot?  Perhaps a sample HTML with the problem.

I modified the code so all notes are displayed by default and changed minor things for the picture anotations.  As for the picture title, send me the HTML code of what looks good on your machine. Ron wrote this code and he knows more about this than myself.

Humm... this is not good news for me.  Are the reports from version 13 much better?  I have not intentially modified the report layout for Beta 14.  What I did is move all the text to the language dictionary and use phrases.

I made a silent update of Beta 14 at http://www.genopro.com/beta/ .  If you download & install Beta 14 again, you will get the fixes.

I believe this is the so called IE 'Guillotine' bug.The change that I thought fixed this bug actually didn't! I tried to implement the 'clearfix' class described in http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html but I obviously didn't understand the instructions. But an alternative 'cheap and cheerful' solution is to include a 'cleared' element later in the page. So edit the template file individual.htm as follows:

Delete lines 34 & 126 as they do nothing. Insert before line 125 , i.e. before </body>, the line:

The reason my code worked and Dan's did not is that my code to write footnotes left an empty <span> element like the above when no footnotes were present. Dan is much more meticulous with his code and of course did not generate superfluous html.

Perhaps someone with a better grasp of html can figure out how the '.cleafix' class should be applied.

You are right about this.  I made the assumption that if a relationship was blank, they the couple was not living together.  It would probably safer to assume the couple is living together if both are alive.

OK. The problem starts from interpreting the blank (default) entry in the relationship field. One would assume that if nothing is written, the default is marriage or similar, but not divorce or separation. Most of my family properties have no marriage indicated, thus giving "they had no children".
