Overview
This section includes the strings GedSite uses when transforming GEDCOM AGE record values such as "66y 8m 1d" into "66 years, 8 months, and 1 day".
This section has four sub-sections.
- Age Part Words — The strings are used for the age parts: years, months, weeks, and days.
- Years, Months, Days Templates — The strings are templates used to construct text when the AGE value includes a mix of years, months, and days.
- Years, Months, Weeks, Days Templates — The strings are templates used to construct text when the AGE value includes a mix of years, months, weeks, and days.
- Other AGE Text Strings — The strings used for AGE values that include the less-than symbol (<), the greater-than symbol (%gt;), anbd other special text that may appear in the AGE value.
Age Part Words
These strings are words GedSite uses for age parts (years, months, weeks, and days). There are two strings for each part, singular and plural, and they are combined in a single string property separated by ||:
singular||plural
Year Words
The Year Words text is used to output the word for "year" (singular) or "years" (plural). Templates use [Y] to insert the year value and [YW] (year-word) to insert the singular or plural word into the output. GedSite chooses the singular or plural word based on the value of the year component of the AGE value.
Month Words
The Month Words text is used to output the word for "month" (singular) or "months" (plural). Templates use [M] to insert the month value and [MW] (month-word) to insert the singular or plural word into the output. GedSite chooses the singular or plural word based on the value of the month component of the AGE value.
Week Words
The Week Words text is used to output the word for "week" (singular) or "weeks" (plural). Templates use [W] to insert the week value and [WW] (week-word) to insert the singular or plural word into the output. GedSite chooses the singular or plural word based on the value of the week component of the AGE value.
Day Words
The Day Words text is used to output the word for "day" (singular) or "days" (plural). Templates use [D] to insert the day value and [DW] (day-word) to insert the singular or plural word into the output. GedSite chooses the singular or plural word based on the value of the day component of the AGE value.
Years, Months, Days Templates
These strings are templates GedSite uses to construct text when the AGE value includes a mix of years, months, and days. GedSite chooses one of the templates according to which parts are present. For example, GedSite will use the Years, Months template when the AGE value includes the year and month parts only.
