Re: [Gramps-devel] Ancestor Tree as Ordered List

[Benny M. <ben...@gm...>]

Looks nice too.
A pedigree is however pretty too. I'm not worried about how the html looks
if the page looks ok.
Looking at eg http://genealogy.finlayfamily.org/pedigree.php, I do not think
semantic markup is a design tool there...

Note that you will only have pictures for people after 1900 or so, and
before you only have perhaps scanned in documents, so to make a pedigree
depend too much on pictures is not such a good choice (in my opinion).
