====CSV Dialect====
Choose from:
*** 'tab'
[https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html Python's <code>csv</code> module] provides several pre-defined dialects to simplify reading and writing CSV files. These dialects specify rules for parsing and formatting data. The standard dialects include {{man label|excel}}, {{man label|excel-tab}}, and {{man label|unix}}. This document outlines each dialect's characteristics, including its separator, line terminator, and quoting behavior. ===== Excel Dialect ===== The {{man label|excel}} dialect is designed to be compatible with CSV files generated by Microsoft Excel. It is suitable for data that has been saved from Excel as comma-separated values. *Separator:** Comma (<code>,</code>`)*Line Terminator: Carriage return and line feed (<code>\r\n</code>)*Quoting:** Double quotes (<code>"</code>`) are used to enclose fields containing the separator or other special characters.** To include a double quote within a quoted field, it is escaped by doubling it (e.g., <code>""example""</code>). ===== Excel-tab Dialect ===== The {{man label|excel-tab}} dialect is similar to the `excel` dialect but uses tabs instead of commas as the separator. This format is often encountered when copying cell data from Excel to the OS clipboard. Pasting tab separated data into the [[Addon:Import_Text_Gramplet|Import Text]] addon gramplet is one of the quickest way to populate parts of your tree. * Separator: Tab (<code>\t</code>)* Line Terminator: Carriage return and line feed (<code>\r\n</code>)* Quoting:** Double quotes (<code>"</code>) are used to enclose fields containing the separator or other special characters.** To include a double quote within a quoted field, it is escaped by doubling it (e.g., <code>""example""</code>). ===== Unix Dialect ===== The {{man label|unix}} dialect is designed for use in Unix-like environments. It uses a line feed character as the line terminator and always quotes all fields. * Separator: Comma (<code>,</code>)* Line Terminator: Line feed (<code>\n</code>)* Quoting:** All fields are enclosed in double quotes (<code>"</code>).** To include a double quote within a quoted field, it is escaped by doubling it (e.g., <code>""example""</code>). ===== See also:=====

====Document Styles dialog====
The [https://developer-old.gnome.org/gtk4/stable/GtkFileChooser.html GtkFileChooser] allows for adding quick navigation hotlinks to commonly used places of the filesystem. In the default implementation, these are displayed in the left sidebar navigation pane. It may be a bit unclear at first that these shortcuts come from various sources and in various flavors, so let's explain the terminology here:
* '''[[#Bookmarking_file_folders|Bookmarks]]''': are created by the user, by dragging folders from the right pane to the left pane, or by using the “Add”. Bookmarks can be renamed and deleted by the user.
* '''Shortcuts''': can be provided by the Gramps application. For example, program may want to add a shortcut for a Downloads or Documents folder. Shortcuts ''cannot'' be added or removed by the user. The the 'Rename...' context menu option allows them to be relabeled.
* '''Volumes''': are provided by the underlying filesystem abstraction. They are the “roots” of the filesystem. The Home and Downloads hotlinks are common "roots". Volumes cannot be modified by the user.

==== Linux ====
If you want to choose a locale 'variant' for sorting that is not the default variant, then you can start Gramps from the terminal (or console) with a different LC_COLLATE environment. For example, the default sorting (collation) variant for Swedish is "reformed", but you can instead choose "standard" by typing:
Now when you click on that icon Gramps will start in Danish.
