The Biography QuickView Report add-on is one of the most useful to configure with the Quick View shell gramplet . (The screen capture below has the Biography Quick Report in a detached/undocked Quick View Gramplet.) [image] Unfortunately, it is one of the add-ons that hasn’t made it to the Wiki. (…

This is most likely due to a mix of tabs and spaces as the error message says. I uploaded a branch to my gramps fork with this change. You can fetch libnarrate.py from there by clicking on the ‘Raw’ button and saving it locally.

Thank you for posting about this. I think I had noticed it long ago but forgot about it. It seems like it would be very useful for copying and pasting information into WikiTree. And maybe with a few changes, it could be formatted the way that WikiTree prefers for its biographies , sources , and resear…

Yes. A WikiTree-styled Biography variant fork could be created (or maybe added as a Configuration option). This quickreport was actually designed for pasting Gramps data into WikiTree. I’d like to see an option that added a simple list of Events that were NOT recognized and folded into the biograp…

The BiographyQuickView.py calls the narrator library ( line 39: from gramps.plugins.lib.libnarrate import Narrator) to generate the text strings of the generated biography. The included Names , Places and Dates all respond to the format editor customizations saved in the Display tab of the Gramps Pre…

[image] emyoulation: Any idea where and how the narrator.get_died_string function should be hacked to use the Age format Preferences? @emyoulation Good question. Learning how to access Gramps settings has been on my learning list, so I took the opportunity to dig around a little bit and found…

[image] codefarmer: libnarrate.py doesn’t use the config class at the moment Something seems wrong about that. The other 3 format configurations ARE being considered in other function calls to the libnarrate.py library. So how do those function calls get around the Config class to format the…

@emyoulation Name and Place objects handled in libnarrator are being formatted using displayer classes, which in turn use config internally. At first glance it appears that Span classes don’t have equivalent displayer classes so libnarrator has converts it to a string, but doesn’t take into account…

Getting errors with the 2 lines changed in libnarrate.py Changed line 2265 age = span.get_repr(dlocale=self._locale) to age = span.format(config.get('preferences.age-display-precision'), False, self._locale) and then inserted new line 46 from gramps.gen.…

When doing my earlier tests, I did not compare the Event data against what was generated. It turns our that the Age returned has other problems, even in the original incarnation. At no point does it include all 3 increments: years, months, & days. The returned age omitted the Month. I assumed the e…

That worked! Thank you. The fussy (and too invisible) white space sensitivity is what I hate about Python. Could you add a 2022 Copyright line to document your fix?
