Modify web pages, generated by PAF, for handheld devices
Even if you do not want to build a web page you can use this
method to generate a file for android devices and use OpenHtml to display it.
NOTE web pages generated with these additions will still work with the standard
browsers (IE, Chrome, etc)
- When generating the web page from PAF add the following to the header input (“Advance HTML”).
====================================================
<meta name="HandheldFriendly" content="True" />
====================================================
- Generate the genealogy web page files.
- Find the files generated by PAF and modify index1.htm
and index2.htm by adding the following in the header part of the file.
============================
<style> body { line-height: 145%; } </style>
============================
- CAUTION edit web page files with note pad.
- The number of index99.htm files depends on the size on your data base, they all require this change.
- Only modify files that start with index.
- The equivalent files in Ancestral Quest start with findex. I.E. findex1, findex2 etc.
- Modify index.htm by wrapping the commands that point to index 1 and 2, etc with
==========================
“<p> </p>“
==========================
- NOTE the changes noted in item 3, 4 increases the spacing
between lines making it easier to direct the commands with finger tips.
- CAUTION edit web page files with note pad.
- Check the web page using your browser (IE). When this
page displays correctly copy to your web host or your hand held device.
- The procedure for Ancestral Quest14 is similar (I have not tried Roots Magic).
