Statute and Evidence Styles

When used, the statute and evidence styles on the Special tab of the eXtyles style palette will produce the following XML.

Panel



Code Block
languagexml
<section snum="" secnum="">
<statue_head><emphasis type="bold">907.02 Testimony by experts</emphasis></statue_head>
<para type="statues"><emphasis type="bold">(1)</emphasis> If scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge will assist . . .</para>
</section>

<section snum="" secnum="">
<title-group><title>Judicial Council Committee’s Note (1974)</title></title-group>
<para type="flush">Fear of encroachment upon the function of the ...</para>
</section>


Note

The only difference between regular Head1, Para, and List styles and Evidence Head1, Evidence Para, and Evidence List styles is their font size in the Word document (Evidence styles are 10 pt while Para styles are 11 pt). The XML output for both sets of styles is exactly the same.

Table of Contents



BB Styles

The Special tab of the eXtyles palette also includes a family of styles for BB content. These styles are unique from regular heading, paragraph, and list styles in that the heading styles are formatted using Word’s auto-number feature, and the paragraph styles export with tagging different from the other family of labeled paragraph styles (see the previous Labeled Paragraphs section of this guide).

BB Headings

Heading 1 (BB) through Heading 6 (BB) on the Special tab of the eXtyles palette are formatted to use Word auto-number features. When used, they will produce title groups in the XML; for example, the following Word content:

Produces the following XML:

Code Block
languagexml
<section snum="I" secnum="">
<title-group>I&#x00A0;<title>Summary Settlement</title>
</title-group>
<section snum="A" secnum="">
<title-group>A&#x00A0;<subtitle>Availability</subtitle>
</title-group>

The same title-group tagging pertains to the other BB headings.

BB Paragraphs

The family of BB paragraph styles should be used to style content that requires the following XML output.

Paragraph StyleXML
Paragraph I (BB)
<para type="heading2">
Paragraph A (BB)
<para type="heading3">
Paragraph 1 (BB)
<para type="heading4">
Paragraph a (BB)
<para type="heading5">
Paragraph Bullet (BB)
<para type="heading6">
Paragraph Dash (BB)
<para type="heading7">

For example, here is content in Word styled with BB heading and paragraph styles. Note that the content is formatted in a Word table to facilitate the correct alignment of case information.

Tip

The eXtyles style palette will by default style the entire row of a table. To style just one cell of a table, place your cursor in the cell you want to style, and then press and hold Crtl while clicking the style button on the palette.

Following is the XML that will be exported from eXtyles for this content:


Code Block
<section snum="I." secnum="">
<title-group>I.&#x00A0;<title>Summary Settlement</title>
</title-group>
<section snum="A." secnum="">
<title-group>A.&#x00A0;<subtitle>Availability</subtitle>
</title-group>
<para type="heading4">
