| I'm not sure what you mean here...   After the next update [[private]]
information will not be included in the GEDCOM files (unless you select the
option to include it).  Is this what you were referring to by "double
bracket?"

Reply:
No, what I am talking about is the double carot marks you use to indicate
that something should be in italics or bold or underlined.  When these are
printed they turn out as you intended.  However, when they are sent to
WorldConnect in a gedcom they are not modified.  We had a dialogue a few
weeks ago in which I asked about this and I was told that WorldConnect, and
I guess the gedcom protocol uses a single carot <> to indicate italic, bold,
underline, so it does not read it correctly.  I understand why you are using
the double carot, because the single carot often is used for other things
and can be confusing.

I was suggesting that if you can attach a meaning to [[ ]] for just the
gedcom that maybe you could change the double carot to a single carot when a
gedcom is being created so that the intended italic, bold or underline would
show up.  Below is a link to a worldconnect page where this is a problem.
