<!-- # No option * The addon DescendantsLines does not use the Gramps document interface (''Document Options''). (perhaps the Gramps document interface options should be hidden)* DestinationOption does not have the usual error handling and user checking (e.g. for name display format -->overwriting files)# * Partial quoting of xml-syntax-like data. Data which resembles xml syntax (tags, etc) may cause error.# * Script ignores role on event (was added in 2007)# * Script ignores localized date handlers (using ISO date format, date quality in english)# * Memory limitation with a large database (DOM parsing)# * The last pixel column of each secondary line of each entry is wrong coloured (red instead black)# The addon DescendantsLines does not use the Gramps document interface. (perhaps the Gramps document interface options should be hidden)# DestinationOption does not have the usual error handling and user checking (e.g. for overwriting files)# * Size limit: Cairo surface size limit. (32767 for height and 32767 for width [http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.cairo/21068])# * Some PDF output size limit (currently crossing this limit will result in an empty PDF file)
