James,

I agree with you entirely, but RST does not give me a way to do it.  If you specify 

::

you get a set of <pre> tags and absolutely everything within them is passed through as is.  I had to change '*' to '_' to get the underscores in there.  The text actually says that wives names are in asterisks, so if I simply left the underscores out I'd remove information from the file.  I did the best that RST allows me to do.

In your ascii-art family trees, it is disappointing to see the PG-hack underline “convention” being used to represent italic in those files formats which actually *do* support real italic.  I would hope to see the PG-hack underline “convention” – if anywhere – only in the .txt file versions. If it is not possible to actually represent these in italic, then I would think it would be better to remove the PG-hack underline “convention” entirely in those files except the .txt file versions.  In any case I think readers will find the PG-hack underline needlessly confusing and obscuring when trying to read the ascii-art family trees.
