Newbie question on basic formatting

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I tried "fixing" a report format and messed things up and cannot get back. Was trying to make occupation and religion verb be is or was depending on whether person was alive or dead. Now I get, using myself as an example on a decendent indented narrative:

 

Ira Graffman is. He was Baha'i

 

How do I fix?

 

Thanks!

This is the occupation tag:

 

[P] <was a|and [PO] were> <[L]>|| [P] <is|and a [PO] are>

 

What tag do I need to show you for the first sentence?

 

Thanks!

 

Ira

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you show us the sentence rules (it will have [P] etc. in it) they we can probably point out the error...

This is the occupation tag:

 

[P]   || [P]

The reason the occupation doesn't show is that it's not included in the Sentence. Normally the occupation is written in the Memo field. So the Sentence should be:

 

[P] [M] || [P] [M]

 

The standard Occupation tag also include the date, so if you wanted that, it would be:

 

[P] [M] || [P] [M]
