You probably only think you want this. I assure you, those double-spaces can more than double the size of your output. I spent several labor-weeks deleting enough blank lines to save 473 pages in one narrative. Aside from that, there are drawbacks to the blank-lines. They frequently cause the page to break oddly (whether you're printing to paper, to pdf or to html). A badly placed page break can change the reader's understanding of the material presented. And, when you add in Events and blank lines between those, you can produce a paper that has a Fog index well post-graduate. Since most people aren't post-grad, they are even more likely to misunderstand. I've had the misfortune of having to unravel meaning from some of these things, and it fails to raise the warm-fuzzies toward the author. > > And, I'd like an empty line (/i.e/., double-space) after the > sentence that says "their children were:" > See above. > As you know, German given names for boys were often > "Johannes Christian," "Johannes Adam," "Johannes Ludwig," > etc. Is there any way I can get Legacy to either use the > middle name or the full given name in narratives?
