You can prevent the name from coming up first by exporting only nonliving
individuals to a new file, and confine those to people before, say, 1900.
Use this new file to generate your webpages and then you will not have
living people's names sneak in.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Software limitations (this is not negative!)


Tom,

That's unfortunately not sufficient. The person's real name still sneaks in
places like the html page title, the related family links box to the side of
the pedigree, the line that says 'marriage notes for (real name)', and so
on.

The web page generation feature is highly important to me, but the
limitations stated above are problems in the **presentation** of the data.
They don't slow down my research. Things like that can be eventually fixed,
without my having to change any of my own data or research.

Thus, the fact that everyone is so helpful - you're the perfect example of
this, Tom - more than makes up for the fact that this software, like any
other piece of software on the planet, has limitations.

I'm looking for something to facilitate research, AND facilitate
collaboration, AND facilitate presenting results on the web. Legacy does all
that. And, it appears that Legacy will continue to IMPROVE in each of those
three areas, over the course of time.

If my research is solid, and my data are authoritative, I'm not worried that
it may take another year or two for Legacy to get better at presenting that
data. It's far more important that I can collaborate and maintain the
integrity of what I *have* done. It's far more important that I'm able to
learn "best practices" from those far more experienced than I.

I *do* appreciate the help. Definitely!
