Following examples show how to use the styles on the Body tab of the style palette, and the BITS XML that is produced for each style.

Tip

Lists, figures, and tables are described in the Object Tab section of the style guide.

Headings and Body Text

Headings must be used in their proper hierarchical order to achieve correct and valid BITS XML. This means that a Head 1 must always precede a Head 2, and so on. Headings should not be applied based solely on the way that they look in the Word document.

...

Equations should be formatted as either plain text (e.g., a + b = c) or using the MathType editor. We recommend against using pictures to display math formulas because the pictures will not be as accessible once the content is rendered (i.e., a screen reader can read MathML, which is a specific XML markup for math and which can be generated by eXtyles for math that has been formatted using MathType).

Note

If the formula includes a list of definitions of variables (a “where” list) use the Equation Where List paragraph style to ensure that the term and definition pairs receive the correct markup in the XML.
