Hello,
I've run across something I can't quite adequately.
What I have is a genealogy list:
for example:
Richard Thomas Walker Duke, Jr. (1853-1926)
m. (1884)(1) Edith Ridgeway Slaughter (1863-1921)
a. Mary Willoughby Duke (1885-1966)
b. Richard Thomas Walker Duke III (1887-1960)
m. (1917) Myrtle Judson (? -1941)
(1942) Cecile Grotta
(1947) Florence Watts ("Jeri")
c. John Flavel Slaughter Duke (1889-1933) m.
Kathleen Timmons (? -1940)
d. William Eskridge Duke (1893-1959) m. (1923)
Lucy Marshall Lee
(i) R.T.W. Duke IV (1924-1926)
(ii) William Eskridge Duke, Jr., ("Bill")
(1927- ) m. Frances Armistead Marston
(iii) Lucy Marshall Duke (1931- ) m. Gerald
Kinne
e. Helen Risdon Duke (1895-1984)
f. Edwin Ellicott Duke (1899-1900)
The best way I can decribe this list is that it is in outline
form. It is currently in an <biogHist> "field." I have thought
of using <list>/<item> and <lb>. I don't think I could use
tabular display here (in <biogHist>) but neither is the list
really in tabular display. I think a good solution would be to
nest <list> in <list> but according to the tag library I can't do
this.
We need to keep this information and I am not certain that
reformatting the list will make the genealogy any clearer (in
fact, probably muddy the waters instead),
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
