# Syntax

To define an individual,

indvdldef

[child mark]
{new box name}
[title]
{individual name}
[list of additional info or attributes]
[maleline xlength]

- child mark
  + `\ftbiological`
  + `\ftadopted`
  + `\fttop`
  + `\ftblank`

- attribute
  + `\fthaschild`
  + `\ftprivate`
  + `\ftmaleline, \ftfemaleline, \ftpatrilineal, \ftmatrilineal`

---

To define the siblings,

sblngdef

{new box name}
{name list of individual boxes}

You can insert the "interval box" in the name list, to make the
spaces between the siblings.

To define the interval box,

ivaldef

{box-name}
{length}

There are three pre-defined interval boxes, `\ival`, `\ivali`, and `\ivalii`.

---

To define a parent-child relationship,

pcdef

{new box name}
{parent box name}
{child box name}

To define the generations,

gensdef

{new box name}
{parent box name}
{list of connection-pair}

connection-pair :=

{individual box name in the parent box}
{child box name}

---

To define a married couple or the spouses,

mrrgdef

{new box name}
{spouse list A}
{oneself}
{spouse list B}
[childline xlength]

familytree – Draw family trees

Boxes describe individuals; lines connecting boxes represent sibling or parent-child relationships, or marriages.

Excluding the marriage box, you can get a maleline/patrilineal tree, or a femaleline/matrilineal tree.

For Japanese, the jlreq.cls vertical option (tate) is supported.
