Middle initial disappears? #118

Closed jhannah closed 3 months ago

jhannah commented 4 months ago

My 4 times great-grandfather is James C. Hannah.

0 @I1172@ INDI
1 NAME James C. /Hannah/
1 SEX M
1 BIRT
2 DATE 1782

ged2site renders that like so: http://jays.net/genealogy/static-site/James-Hannah-1782.html

He had a son, James Hannah.

In my surname index it says:

Is there some reason the C. is completely dropped from the static-site render? It seems confusing (and data loss) to suppress middle initial? Or I'm just confused? (... or this is some side-effect of my ugly hacks for #112 that won't exist once I can throw those away?)

Patch https://github.com/nigelhorne/ged2site/commit/f62674ec4911cba4c4da82bcdcd7ba84fe76ca2b added to bug #115 should fix this. Please check.

Apologies, can't check this yet until #112 is stable -- the program crashes before attempting render of I1172.

On my fork branch 112-and-115 98af16deccef62925d85c9221c4b61a7f2eef971 output the middle initial C. is listed in some places, not in others... Which I guess is fine? I'll just close this since I guess it's not important now that the individual filenames aren't the peoples names anymore. And as long as the C. does appear in one place, people can figure that out. And having the different birth year listed most places helps to de-ambiguate. Thanks!
