Re: [Gramps-devel] How control variable can make the reportdisplays Call Name if exists, Given Name otherwise

[setan k. <set...@ya...>]

Craig, thank you very much. Actually I have tried the '$n(x)' but it only take the first name into account. However, I suppose your '$n(x< >l)' solution should work, I'll try it. Thank's again.

Hi, doesn't '{$n(c) $n(x)}' work?  or you could shorten this to: '{$n(c x)}'.
As per the docs:
'

x  Common name. Call name if existing, otherwise first first name 
'
 
Sorry, that would actually be '$n(x)'
If you wish to add the last name it could be '$n(x< >l)' for the persons [call/formal name] and last name.
