Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for. Wonder why I didn't see
it in the first place..

I see that there are no options for the generated text, it's hard coded
to:
> ${Name of person}
> (${birthdate} - {$deathdate})

It's of course possible that I fix the text manually in the .svg
with Inkscape, but that's tedious. Where do I have to look to change
that generated text, i.e. to remove the parenthesis and add birth/death
symbols?
