Will LDSql output possibly provide an HTML output option?

If somebody writes one. The SQLite engine and my own LDSql schema are freely open for anyone to use.

My own focus is primarily on the back-end logic, where I think I can have the most general impact and jump-start development of lots of different apps. But I can't possibly write all the front-end apps myself. The number of good ideas exceeds my available time. I also have a day job and a day calling.

I have released a new version of LDSql, v 0.9.5. This release is an extensive restructuring to accommodate similar restructuring introduced by MLS v 3.1.0.

These changes had the general effect of allowing the recording of phone numbers and email addresses for individual members as well as for households. Because of the limitations of MLS exports, this also affected the logic of how members and households are linked in the home- and visiting-teaching tables.

Almost all tables and views were affected, as were all the scripts. There were new, deleted and renamed columns for individual and household phone numbers and email addresses.

Because of the extensive restructuring, this version is not backwards-compatible with earlier versions of MLS. To load data from such earlier MLS exports, use the LDSql schema and scripts from v 0.9.4.
