What is best/recommended way to add story about an individual? was created by carlocol
Some people in the family tree I am working on, have a good deal of text associated with them (multiple pages) describing their lives etc, others have short descriptions.
What is the best way to record this in a GEDCOM file, and in webtrees?
I'd like to have the story to be displayed prominently on the individual's page.
I tried adding an 'inline note', but this doesn't seem to show up anywhere (even if I click on 'Notes')
(I would add some screenshots, but I can't see any Attachments function at the moment...)
Regards,
Colin

There is one downside to Stories: these are not saved in GEDCOM. So after export & import the stories are lost.
Also they do not have (by default) the 'prominent' place you were hoping for, but shown in a tab. With some coding skills that probably can be altered by making a custom module.

I use the Notes(, linked by favorites). For example:
freris.de/tree/frese/individual/I2852/Hi...dred-Frese#tab-notes
(so saved in gedcom)
