Each level 0 line has a cross-reference index between the level number and the tag. The first line in the example record has the INDI tag, identifying it as a person. The second line in the example has the person's name. This format allows names to be as long as needed, but the surname, which may be placed anywhere in the name, must be separated from the rest of the name by one or two slashes. The second slash is required only if name elements follow the surname.
White space is optional before the first slash and after the second.
A LifeLines person record may have any number of 1 NAME lines, though the person will be displayed with the first name value only. Persons are indexedmunder all their names, however, so you will be able to search for persons by any of their names. The next line in the example gives the person's sex. LifeLines doesn't require a 1 SEX line, but you should include it. A person must have a 1 SEX line with a value of either M or F before he or she can be made a spouse or parent in a family.
