Author Processing automatically identifies and tags all sub-elements in the paragraph in your document that contains the author name(s).
This tagging is used primarily for the production of XML directly from eXtyles.
It can also be used to help compositors automatically identify author names that will be used in constructing running heads.
Warning |
---|
Author Processing should not be run on documents that are not being exported to XML. |
How to use
Complete copy editing of the manuscript before running this process.
Author Processing is designed to tag copy edited elements, not to automate copy editing.Select eXtyles > Advanced Processing > Author Processing.
The author paragraph(s) will be tagged and highlighted.
Example:
The following author paragraph:
Ravinder Mamtani, Jr., MD* and Andrea Cimino, RN, DPM, Licensed Acupuncturist**
will appear in this form after Author Processing:
All components of the author line, except for punctuation and connecting words, are color coded.
In addition, the author name components are styled with Word character styles such as au_fname or au_surname.

Warning: If your workflow involves converting plain text notes to linked notes, this function must be run before Author Processing to prevent the incorrect handling of author footnotes. |
