I am trying to use Gedcom Publisher to create a book that is very similar to the format on my GedSite created website. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

DETAILS:

Here is what a person’s page looks like on my web site, I have blanked out three lines in the middle that I do not want in the book. I generated the web site with GedSite.

I would like to do this same format in an ebook/pdf format with Gedcom Publisher.

Ideally, each generation would automatically begin in a new chapter, but I would accept all the people in the same chapter.

Below are my results so far. I would like the facts to each begin indented and each new fact would begin on a new line. I would like the facts to be in the same order as they are in the web site. I have tried many Gedcom Publisher combinations and cannot seem to get any farther than this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is what the narrative report looks like from RootsMagic 11.

Don,

The GedSite (GS) and Gedcom Publisher (GP) Person Entry sections are very similar. The customizations/configuration changes you have done in GS you need to also do in GP. Similarly, the Format section in GP is similar to the Format section in GS. Copy your settings for that section, too.

You may not be able to achieve all the style customizations you’ve made. The EPUB format/standard combined with some e-readers place limits on what styles will work in EPUB.
