Advice on HTML capabilities

Recommended Posts

I am seeking a genealogy product that will allow me to create a series of interlinked HTML files for my family tree. I currently have 6,500 family records processed via fzip http://members.ozemail.com.au/~acroft/ which does export to HTML however it has minimal ability to adjust the format and I seek an alternative

 

Does TMG have an ability to generate interlinked HTML webpage files from it's database? If so, what ability is there to adjust the format and "look" of those files?

 

Thanks

Toa,

 

TMG has the ability to print most reports in HTML format, and many people have built web sites using TMG's Journal reports or one of the other report formats. TMG users can also export their data to GEDCOM and use one of the GEDCOM-to-HTML site builders. There is a third option, too, and that is to use a companion product named "Second Site". Second Site is tightly integrated with TMG in that Second Site reads the TMG data directly to make a site. Second Site supports most of TMG features including narratives, witnesses, exhibits, and much more. You can control the look of the site, as well as many other characteristics of the site, using one of the hundreds of options available.

 

You can read about Second Site on the Second Site homepage. You may want to look at some example sites to see what can be done.

 

Another resource is a list of sites made by TMG users. Many use Second Site, but there are sites made other ways listed there, too. See: http://www.whollygenes.com/forums201/index.php?showforum=50

 

I am the author of Second Site, and clearly biased. I suspect some other TMG users will comment on this topic and that will give you some less biased responses!
