I agree that a ged2gwb > gwb2ged pass should be lossless for the gedcom itself. I think there's already open issues for this like #172 (and #284 seems also linked).
Related to issue #1002. Should be fixed after PR #1067.
Report for geneweb 6.08. I use sample DB from http://genealogyoflife.com/tng/gedcom/HarryPotter.ged
GWB is created with command
And geneweb GWB is exported to GEDCOM:
Import GEDCOM back, create GWB "potter2"
The issue. Formated comments are broken, formatting is lost. Compare pages from potter1 and potter2: http://localhost:2317/potter1?p=harry;n=potter http://localhost:2317/potter2?p=harry;n=potter
An example, there was a comment
That is exported to GEDCOM file and formating is lost:
This is what is in comment after import:
Better way of export, should use CONT:
Even this is not perfect, it is imported back as:
Newer version of geneweb supports markdown, such comments will be affected too when formating is lost.
Summary. In the ideal way, Geneweb should be able to read back GEDCOM file it generated without any issue, no information should be lost. I know I can export and import GWB with gwu and gwc commands..
