    That's why I said "some form of". Markdown has issues, to be sure. at this point since it has to be backwards-friendly, I'd settle for translating spaces to nbsps automatically in notes fields. Emphasis on automatically.

    I don't know what "hard spaces" means. Manually indenting with the space character does not work - HTML collapses them all. See http://hockin.org/genealogy/individual.php?pid=I79&ged=hockin - the note under Occupation has formatted (indented) lines which get scrambled.

    Hard spaces? Multiple spaces get collapsed when displayed...

    Sorry, to be clearer: If you find a space character in a note, serve it as an HTML quot escape, and maybe serve tab characters as 4 or 8 quots.

    The nice thing about Markdown is that it is human readable, but yeah, I guess PGV would mis-serve other data that happens to look like markdown. Perhaps just preserving whitespace would be enough.

  • Comment: Edit Name needs an Add Facts list

    Can you point me at a spec that includes this? The only spec I can find does not seem to say this, and is also missing many tags that PGV supports..

    No. Not all lines are left-justifed. I need it to preserve whitespace and serve it as   escapes. I'd also like it to handle italics, bold, and underline. Maybe RichText or very basic Markdown..

    FWIW: Execution time: 100.884 sec. Total Database Queries: 70. Total privacy checks: 32. Total Memory Usage: 10496 KB. There's NO WAY that my F150 page should take 100 seconds, even considering bandwidth. Is PGV doing something pathological when it serves up a URL media item? Does it download the image internally and try to do something? Regardless of thumbnailing, etc, there is...
