GEDCOM_TAG_CONCATENATION top-level constant
String
const GEDCOM_TAG_CONCATENATION
An indicator that additional data belongs to the superior value.
The information from the CONC
value is to be connected to the value of
the superior preceding line without a space and without a carriage
return and/or new line character. Values that are split for a CONC
tag must always be split at a non-space. If the value is split on a
space the space will be lost when concatenation takes place.
This is because of the treatment that spaces get as a GEDCOM
delimiter, many GEDCOM values are trimmed of trailing spaces
and some systems look for the first non-space starting after
the tag to determine the beginning of the value.
Implementation
const GEDCOM_TAG_CONCATENATION = 'CONC';
