Subject: Probems formatting source "Actual text"
Date: Thu, 07 Apr 2005 22:42:54 -0400


I'm going barmy.

In the edit source box, I put in the examples given below, and PAF
concatonates it into one line in both GEDCOM export and in its make web page
facility. In the gedcom, a stack of CONC tags
precede the lines, but why? Clearly I want CONT lines instead - so I
preserve my formatting. Can
I do this. (I know I can, because in other sources the formatting is
preserved via CONT tags).

Perhaps the successfully formatted sources were copied and pasted from a
different
document. Perhaps they were entered before I started using PAF, and came in
in my first gedcom.
Can anyone help me learn how to enter formatted entries (e.g. census
entries), or poems into
the "actual text" entry of a source?

Thanks in advance,
Tony
