What are p q r in {{Family tree}}?

In the section Template:Tree chart#Migration from familytree the instructions for converting the tiles p, q & r were wrong.

These are the notes I made to check the correct changes to make:

Tiles p, q & r in {{Family tree}} are:

The equivalent tiles in {{Tree chart}} are dj, jc & fy which are:

Double border

Any chance of a tile style with border: 1px double black?

I'm using this template/module over on English Wikisource trying to replace various historical family tree templates, and have run across a style of family tree that uses a double line between boxes to indicate marriages. An example is at s:Page:The Complete Peerage Ed 2 Vol 1.djvu/91 (the scanned page image on the right). I've so far only seen this for the equivalent of the v tile, so simply having vd or v2 or similar would be sufficient, but it's conceivable other use cases exist for double lines.

In any case, I would prefer to not have to patch this over on enWS every time we re-import the code from here, so I would very much appreciate it if we could get this from "upstream". I could mock this up in the sandbox, but I imagine it'll be faster (and less disruptive to any other ongoing changes) for someone familiar with the code to do it. --Xover (talk) 13:10, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

"Crows' feet"

Cf. the above (#Double border), on s:Page:The Complete Peerage Ed 2 Vol 1.djvu/91, they're using a little crows' feet-like symbol to indicate that there was issue from a marriage but that that branch of the tree has been elided. I haven't been able to come up with any elegant way to support that. Anybody have ideas?

The best I've been able to come up with is a tile with a suitable image in it, set to scale with the size of the surrounding <td>. At the sizes we're talking about here, a bitmap ought to do the job, but ideally, I suppose, one would use an SVG (is there support for inline SVG in data: attributes yet?). It feels a little icky to suggest using an image in an otherwise entirely markup-based template (especially one that, among others, replaces an image-based implementation iirc), but I can't really think of any better alternatives. --Xover (talk) 13:21, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Complicated family situation

This is a complicated situation that I'm not sure how to render: There is an existing family tree at Cyriacus Buyruk Khan. The grand-daughter, Ibaqa Beki, is listed as being married to Jürchedei, which is correct. However, she also was, prior to that marriage, married to Genghis Khan. I saw above how to render a situation with two marriages, however, this is complicated by the family tree, where her sister is married to a son of Genghis Khan.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 18:20, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

I also mucked things up trying to add another granddaughter, who married Jochi, another son of Genghis Khan.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 18:34, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Color coding

Dear fellow Wikipedians, as I was editing Medici family tree, where things complicated a bit, I got an idea. Is there any chance of color-coding those lines? This idea is also stated in this article ([1]) on example of divorce. Another problem I was facing was width and height as new generations were added. Any chance of locking these ratios? Is color-coding possible with our template? Thanks in advance. --A09090091 (talk) 20:05, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Numbering tiles

I have noticed some people, eg Valentinianic dynasty, are using a system in which they seem to be numbering tiles. I don't see any documentation on this, nor can I fully understand how this works! --Michael Goodyear ✐  ✉ 21:08, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Boxes wider than three tiles?

Is there any method to make a box wider than the standard three (3) tile width? It would be useful in some instance (when using it for org chart examples) to have a box which is the width of several boxes (and the spaces between them in the next row down. – Lestatdelc (talk) 16:20, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
