Apart from their email lists I can't help with resources.

I've almost got it to work in OOo, the problem is the DDR-First-Entry
and DAR-First_Entry style tags.

I can get an automatic TOC which looks basically like this:

Table of Contents
Descendant Report for Thomas McDonald 1
Generation 1 1
Generation 2 1
Generation 3 2
Generation 4 4
Generation 5 8
Descendant Report for William Lithgow 20
Generation 1 20
Generation 2 20
Generation 3 21
Generation 4 23

What I want, and _could_ get if we can change the python code a wee bit
is this:

Table of Contents
Descendant Report for Thomas McDonald 1
Generation 1 1
   1. Thomas McDonald.
Generation 2 1
   11. Margaret McDonald.
Generation 3 2
   111. Jane (Ginny) MacRae.
   112. John Stuart (Jack) MacRae.
   113. Annie MacRae.

etc...

The only thing in the way of this is that DDR-First-Entry and
DAR-First_Entry style tags cover the entire text of the first entry, not
just the number and name. If it was just the number and name, then the
TOC above would be easy. Do you know how to change that, I'd love a
hack...
