Export Mechanics
Terry Reigle's article, "
Considerations for Exporting Sources to GEDCOM 5.5 Files," explains in detail how TMG's source groups are group and prioritized to be exported to GEDCOM 5.5.
Only information written into a TMG source element is exported. Text that is added to a TMG template other than by a source element is not exported to GEDCOM 5.5.
