Re: Compound tags such as FAMC:HUSB:FAMC:HUSB:GIVN

Hi Ron,

I'm not sure those have official names, but in my own coding, I've used the name "tagPath" (similar to a keyPath in Cocoa's Key-Value Coding). Not being overly familiar with Webtrees, I believe their usage is the same there.

I use tagPaths to go along the path from one record to another to fetch a value. That is, I don't use the tagPaths in the files themselves, but as a convenience in code. For example, if I have an individual, I can do indi.BIRT.PLAC to get their birthplace (or -s if multiple are recorded).

Regards,
Mikkel
