But Darrell, doesn't the tags memo cause an additional entry in the MPL?

I have been taking detail information out of the Tag's Memo field, and placing it in the Citation Memo, but I can't seem to get the text into a sentence. Am I putting the information in the right place or is there a better way to do it, while keeping my MPL compact?

>Only *source*-related information should be put into the citation detail. My MPL method doesn't do anything with the citation or source. I take what others would put into the Place Detail field and put it in the Tag Memo. For example, the memo might read "||in the Oakland Hills Memorial Gardens" for a Burial Tag. The Tag Type sentence for the "Interred" Role includes "<[M2]><[L]>". The output will then be something like:
>
> "He was buried in the Oakland Hills Memorial
