TimelineFactText

Function Name:

TimelineFactText

Description:

When displaying timeline information, events and attributes are described from the point-of-view of the person that is being reported on.  For example, a given marriage may be described as a sister's marriage or a daughter's marriage, or a father's marriage.  It's the same marriage but the description depends on how the person we're reporting on is related to the people getting married.  This function takes a reference to an Individual and to a fact, and describes the latter from the perspective of the former.  However, it will return an empty string if the fact is not one that is deemed to be a timeline fact for the given Individual.  A timeline fact for a given Individual is any fact which is displayed in the Facts tab of the Property Box, when the option to Show Timeline Facts is enabled.  The ordinary facts in a person's record (birth, death, marriage, etc) are all automatically included.  You can also specify additional facts to include in Preferences (General tab).
