<Placeholders>

The <Placeholders> option is used to perform a global replacement of GEDCOM data. Commonly this is used to replace image file paths, but can be used to replace any garbled text as long as that text is unique. When defined, it will replace all occurrences found in GEDCOM field data.

Example

<Placeholders>
  <Placeholder>       <Name> c:\folder\pics\ </Name> <Content> file://c:/folder/pics/        </Content> </Placeholder>
  <Placeholder>       <Name> c:\folder\imgs\ </Name> <Content> https://domain.com/site/imgs/ </Content> </Placeholder>
