Themes support

Graph View will automatically adapt to your color theme.

AI support

Find path between two persons

Use chat tool #pathBetweenPersons and ask any relational questions between two persons by their name and surname. This tool will generate for AI full path between two given persons so it will understand relations properly.

[!TIP] When you ask an AI about the relationship between two people, it often defaults to the English "1st/2nd cousin" system. To get the result in the Slavic "degree-based" format (e.g. двоюродный), or languages of the Baltic group (e.g. Pusseserė), or Turkic languages (e.g. Amca oğlu) add to your prompt reminder in which form should be result.

Localization support

Commands and Views automatically sync with your display language.

• English
• Українська
• Русский

Markdown support

Extension supports syntax highlighting in preview of Markdown files and in Markdown files code blocks with fml or family syntax name.

Settings

• Children Without Relationships (enabled by default). As family grow to a large number of persons, it is easy to forget to describe a specific person's branch. This option highlights all children who lack family connections.

Syntax Example

Potter

James + Lily Evans = Harry

Weasley

Arthur + Molly? =
1. Fred
2. George
3. Ronald
4. girl

Fred and George - twins

Ronald and Harry Potter - best friends

In this example question marks after names shows that we don't remember maiden name of Molly and don't remember name of last child, only that it's a girl. Last two line shows relation between Fred and George, Ronald and Harry.
