Hi All,

Does Gedcom.pm have a way to auto split long note lines into multiple
CONT and CONC subordinate lines?

Since the total length of a GEDCOM line, including leading white space,
level number, cross-reference number, tag, value, delimiters, and
terminator, must not exceed 255 (wide) characters, it is a little
complicated to compute all the adjustments based on indentations and tag
level etc.

Thanks,
-Steve

Hi Steve
IIRC the spec for GEDCOM discourages indentation.

And AFAIK, the answer is no. I guess you'll have to do it yourself.
