<BlogPosts>

March 13, 2022

The <BlogPosts> option is used to add any number of blog posts. GEDCOM note records ( @NOTE ) can be converted into blog posts by adding a title field to an existing note record id.

Example

<BlogPosts>
  <BlogPost>
    <Id>                      Post1                      </Id>

Gigatrees treats words beginning with a # sign as a hash tag. Dashes in hash tags are converted to spaces when displayed. A separate index page is created for every hashtag. Hash tags are automatically hotlinked to their index pages. Use this option to set the minimum size allowed for hash tags (for this post only). This value overrides the global setting}. A value of zero ( 0 ) defaults to using the global setting.
