  1. 1/3From a person to the family that names them
  2. The Find tool window listing the five usages of @F0002@ in the file — one definition and four references — with the record previewed beside the list.
    2/3Every line that names one record
  3. Every record in simpsons70.ged collapsed to a single line, so the file reads as a list of the Simpsons and Bouviers and the families joining them.

What you get in JetBrains

  • Context-aware autocomplete that knows which tags are legal at this level, in this structure
  • Real-time structural validation against the GEDCOM 5.5.1 and 7.0 specifications
  • Semantic syntax highlighting
  • Hover information for GEDCOM tags, and the record a cross-reference names
  • Go to definition for cross-references
  • Code folding for records and nested structures

Install it

Install it from the JetBrains Marketplace, or from the IDE:
