This mod changes the layout of the Person Profile in several ways,
with the intent of making it easier to read. For example,
- It moves some the profiled person's events below the person's Parent and Family data,
- Adds headings (e.g. Parents, Family or Families, Media, Event Map) above each block of data, and
- Moves 'metadata' (e.g. the personID, date of last change, and links to the Group Sheet and Family Chart) into headings.
