This mod changes the layout of the Person Profile in several ways, with the intent of making it easier to read. For example,

1. It moves some the profiled person's events below the person's Parent and Family data,
2. Adds headings (e.g. Parents, Family or Families, Media, Event Map) above each block of data, and
3. Moves 'metadata' (e.g. the personID, date of last change, and links to the Group Sheet and Family Chart) into headings.

It makes numerous additional changes, some of which are controlled by mod options. See the Wiki article for details.
