Capitalize first letter of pronoun

[Joe Cummings 0]

I cannot seem to get the [sPP] to capitalize the first letter of His or Her pronoun. What is wrong? [RF: Child] is in the Principle field and [RF:Mother] in the Witness field.

 

 

[:CR:][:CR:][RF:Child] was born <[DD]> <[L]>. <[sPP] mother's name was [RF:Mother]><, whose age on the birth date was [RE:Mother]>. <[M]>.

 

Richard was born on Thu. 30 Jul 1885 at New York, USA. his mother's name was Anna, whose age on the birth date was 21 years.

 

Thanks,

Joe

Joe,

 

Nothing's wrong. No variable recognize periods in the middle of the Sentence Structure as being the end of one grammatical sentence - it could just as well indicate an abbreviation.

 

You must insert capitalization in mid-Sentence Structure manually:

[:CR:][:CR:][RF:Child] was born . . .

 

Then add a Female Sentence:

[:CR:][:CR:][RF:Child] was born . . .

 

Or, reword the Sentence to the output of the variable doesn't need to be capitalized, although I don't see an easy way to do that in this case.

First, you have an additional issue with your sentence template by having two variables within a single set of conditional brackets: [sPP] and [RF:Mother]. The TMG HELP explicitly states that “Conditional brackets and variables cannot be nested” and implies that only one variable may be included within a single set of conditional brackets. However it can be shown as an undocumented feature that if multiple variables are included within a single set of conditional brackets, the text within the brackets will be output but only if all variables within those brackets have value.

 

So while your sentence template violates TMG's specified rules, it can work.

 

Second, as Terry notes you must explicitly deal with capitalization for multiple sentences within a single sentence template. To explicitly specific an initial capital, use TMG's "First Letter Capitalize" formatting codes. Try:

 

 

Again, while this sentence template still violates TMG's rules about nested variables, it will work since [sPP] will "always" have value in this Subject's sentence. Thus whether [RF:Mother] has value will control the presence of the clause.

Thank you both (Terry and Michael) for not only pointing out my misunderstanding of sentence structures but also suggesting a solution.
