>Not being a programmer or a script writer, I don't understand the Story >Sentence or Witness Story Sentence. (I'm going back through old messages to >see if there are any clues). Is there a text that can give me some help on >that? Let's take a sample event. Let's use BAPM because it can include a misc data in addition to place and date. Story Sentence: %N was baptised %D p{at} %P m{by} %M. Witness Story Sentence: %W witnessed the baptism of %N d{on} %D p{at} %P m{by} %M. "%" indicates a replacable parameter. they get replaced by the actual data. %N = Name %P = Place %D = Date %M = Misc Data %W = witnessee name The brackets { } represent words that gets only included if a particular piece of data exists. For example: d{on} means that the word "on" will get printed only if a date exists. Some final example sentences from the above Story Sentence structure: Bill Smith was baptised on 23 Oct 1788 at London, England by Reverend Frank. Bill Smith was baptised. Bill Smith was baptised at London, England. Bill Smith was baptised on 23 Oct 1788. Bill SMith was baptised by Reverend Frank. The witness sentences are used only when a witness event is used. A witness event always refers to a secondary event. Here's some examples: John Smith witnessed the baptism of Bill Smith on 23 Oct 1788 at London, England by Reverend Frank. John Smith witnessed the baptism of Bill Smith. John Smith witnessed the baptism of Bill Smith on 23 Oct 1788. John Smith witnessed the baptism of Bill Smith at London, England by Reverend Frank.
