It is quite possible that there has been an extensive discussion of
this topic already. If so, please forgive this repetition.
I am finding that in Individual Narrative the contents of the [DETAIL]
field are affecting the number of commas that TMG is adding to a
sentence involving an address.
If the two adjacent fields [DETAIL] and [CITY] have something like "St
Johns Hospital" and "Sheffield" in them, then the sentence
<at [DETAIL]><, [CITY]>
reads, appropriately: "at St Johns Hospital, Sheffield"
but if the [DETAIL] field contains its own comma, as in "St Johns
Hospital, Fulwood", then the sentence reads: "at St Johns Hospital
Fulwood,, Sheffield"
There seems no obvious way of controlling this effect globally without
introducing a new tag sentence and a large amount of re-editting. Thoughts?
