Title Information

The document title, subtitle (if present), suggested citation title, and running head should be styled as follows to produce correct XML.

Code Block
breakoutModewide
languagexml
<book-title-group>
<book-title>Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network Geomorphological Monitoring Protocol</book-title>
<subtitle>Part I&#x2014;Ocean Shoreline Position, Version 2</subtitle>
<alt-title alt-title-type="sentence-case">Northeast coastal and barrier network geomorphological monitoring protocol: Part I&#x2014;Ocean shoreline position, version 2</alt-title>
<alt-title alt-title-type="running-head">Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network </alt-title>
</book-title-group>

Note that the Citation Title produces an <alt-title> element with a type attribute of "sentence-case". This markup will facilitate the creation of the suggested citation in the rendered content, which has a title casing format different from the main document title.

Note

Because the suggested citation will be constructed from existing metadata it should not be retained in the Word document.

Running Head Title should be used if the document’s running head needs to include a shortened version of the document title.

Cover Information

Content that will appear on the cover page of the document can include a photo and its associated caption and credit, an availability statement that is specific to the document, and other non-boilerplate text.

Cover Photos

<fig fig-type="cover">

</fig>
<fig id="figa" position="float" fig-type="figure">
<graphic xlink:href="jms0912_figa"/>
<attrib>Photograph by: James Allen</attrib>
</fig>
Tip

Remember that any image or photo that remains in the Word document should be styled as Non-XML Text/Graphics.

Cover Notes

Availability statements or other content that is specific to the document and is not boilerplate text should be styled using Cover Note.

Note

Boilerplate text is any text that is the same in every document; for example, disclaimers. This text is included in the BITS XML export filter and will automatically be included in the XML for every document. Because of this, it should be removed from the cover page of the Word document to avoid duplication in the XML.

Authors and Affiliations

Document authors and their affiliations and other notes should be styled using the Authors, Affiliations, and Author Footnote styles.

<author-notes>
<fn id="afn1">
<p>These authors all contributed equally to the report.</p>
</fn>
</author-notes>

In the XML the author will automatically be associated with their affiliation.

Note

Author Processing must be run before BITS XML export to ensure that the author and affiliation markup is correct in the XML.
