Re: [Gramps-devel] Substitution Values updates for your review.

[Nick H. <nic...@ho...>]

Yes, I like it as well.

Benny's suggestions are a good answer to your design question.

How difficult would it be to add substitution variables to handle 
attributes?  For example:

Occupation:  $[Occupation]

if the person has an attribute called "Occupation" containing the 
occupation.
