Turn GEDCOM tags into generic events, creating
standard EVEN, TYPE, and NOTE tags.
This example shows how to convert a user-define tag into
a standard EVEN structure. It will convert all
_MILT events into EVENs of TYPE "military".
Any value on the _MILT line will get converted
into a (new) NOTE for the EVEN.
With this input:
0 @I1@ INDI
1 _MILT Age: 23
the command:
gedcom-eventize --where=".*._MILT" --type="military"
produces:
0 @I1@ INDI
1 EVEN
2 TYPE military
2 NOTE Age: 23
This example shows how to convert values on lines
into (new) subordinate NOTEs.
This is mostly intended to be used on events where
the GEDCOM standard prohibits values, in order to
move the values into a standard position (on a NOTE).
This example moves the (unallowed) value from any RESI
event lines into a subordinate NOTE.
With this input:
0 @I1@ INDI
1 RESI Age: 23
the command:
gedcom-eventize --where=".*.RESI"
produces:
0 @I1@ INDI
1 RESI
2 NOTE Age: 23
