This tab defines the text labels that GED-GEN uses when generating your family, surname and index pages. If you would like to customize this text, simply change the phrases. For best results, do not include punctuation characters, or leading or trailing space characters. If you do it may interfere with the punctuation that GED-GEN adds. The phrase "in" is an exception. It is used before the place field for a birth, marriage and death. If you prefer a colon after "in," then be sure to add one.
This tab also assists those wishing to generate web pages in a language other than English.
Click to reset all text phrases to their original, default values. If you do this, you will lose any changes you have made to these phrases. This command affects all fields on the Labels tab, except User-defined Facts.
Click either of these tabs to change the labels displayed on generated web pages.

These labels delineate sections on a family group sheet.

These labels appear as hypertext links to navigate between web pages.

The link separator is displayed between the inter-page navigation links. The default is a vertical bar character (|) enclosed between two non-breaking space ( ) characters.

These are miscellaneous other labels.
Leave the "Notes:" field empty to display notes without a preceding "Notes:" label.
"Revised" is followed by the date the web page is generated. Leave this label empty to omit the date.
"Revision Date Format" controls how the revision date will appear. It uses special codes to represent the month, day, year and weekday. The arrangement of these codes determines how the date will appear. For example,
| M | Month (1-12) | d | Day (1-31) | |
| MM | Month (01-12) | dd | Day (01-31) | |
| MMM | Month (Jan-Dec) | ddd | Day (Mon-Sun) | |
| MMMM | Month (January-December) | dddd | Day (Monday-Sunday) | |
| yy | Year (00-99) | |||
| yyyy | Year (1900-2040) |
These labels are used on the bibliography and repository web pages.

Click either of these tabs to change the text of other facts, which are displayed either within the family page, or in a separate section at the end of each family page. Other facts are not displayed unless you enable them using the Facts tab.

Many genealogy software programs allow you to define your own facts
about an individual. These facts are ordinarily displayed if you choose
Include other facts on the Facts tab. You can prevent certain
user-defined facts from appearing on your family pages.
Simply enter the fact label in one of the fields on this tab. Be sure to spell each fact exactly as it appears in your genealogy program. Then on the Facts tab, clear the checkbox next to the user-defined fact.
Bonus: To exclude several related facts, you can use a wildcard notation. Enter a caret (^) as the first character, and then a substring to be matched. If the specified substring appears anywhere in the fact label, it is processed according to the setting on the Facts tab, that is, either included or excluded.
Suppose you want to exclude two user-defined facts, "Time of Birth" and "Time of Death." You could enter them separately as two facts. Or, you could enter one user-defined fact and use the wildcard notation:
to match both facts. The caret must always be the first character. You cannot use it in the middle or at the end of a string. If your fact actually has a caret in the first position, enter two carets (e.g., ^^Time of Birth). This will cancel the wildcard feature.
Use the wildcard notation carefully. If your substring appears anywhere in the fact label, it will be considered a match. Thus if you had specified "^Time" rather than "^Time of," you would also match a fact like Time Period.
= Feature is available only in the registered version.
You can surround many labels on the Common and More tabs and all labels on the Facts A-M and Facts N-Z tabs with HTML syntax. This allows you to further customize how they appear. For example if you want the title for the additional information section to appear in an italic font, change the label for "Additional Information" to
You can also use an image file. Suppose you created a GIF file named addinfo.gif as a title for the additional information section. You could then specify the label as
GED-GEN uses the lengths of the following labels to determine column alignment. You should not specify HTML elements for them. The elements would occupy character positions that are not necessarily displayed and therefore interfere with column alignment. This also applies to other facts you choose to display within the family page rather than at the end of the family page.

If you enable the Use non-proportional font option on the Attributes tab, an image (<IMG> element) is technically not allowed within a preformatted text area (<PRE> element), such as the family group sheet. It would violate HTML conformance.
