As there is a potential to produce more than one report the best place to include these reports is under
Books. If more than one report is produced a table of contents is generated to show how many reports there are.
CallMeDave moved page Descendant and Detailed Descendant Book Reports to Addon:Descendant and Detailed Descendant Book Reports: Standardize filename in preparation for new installer tools

The "Descendant Books" plugin addon consists of two book type plugins. addons:* {{man label|Descendant Book }} and * {{man label|Detailed Descendant Book.}}Both reports are based directly off the [[Gramps_4.2_Wiki_Manual_Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_6#Descendant_Report|Descendant Report]] and [[Gramps_4.2_Wiki_Manual_Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_6#Detailed_Descendant_Report|Detailed Descendant Report]]'s, the main difference beinginstead of just producing a report based on the Center Person, it allows for the use of a built in Query orCustom query. This idea is to produce as many descendant reports as is required to satisfy inclusion of allindividuals within the given query.
If for instance "Entire Database" is chosen as the query to use. Then the entire database is traversed anda unique list of ancestors is determined and then a descendant report for each of these ancestors is produced. As there is a potential to produce more than one report the best place to include these reports is under Books. If more than one report is produced a table of contents is generated to show how many reports there are.
If one only report is produced, no table of contents are generated.
