The eXtyles Auto-Redact function automates common, time-consuming Word edits so that editors and copyeditors don’t have to waste time making repetitive or minor edits. The Auto-Redact function automatically performs a complex set of text substitutions in a document to bring it into compliance with your organization’s predefined publication styles and standards. Further, eXtyles Auto-Redact can identify specific patterns of text and apply Word character styles, which can then be used to produce specific tagging in the XML.
How to Use Auto-Redact
To apply the Auto-Redact rules to a document:
1. Select Auto-Redact from the eXtyles menu/ribbon
2. The following dialog box will appear:
3. Click OK to process the document.
eXtyles will automatically make a backup copy of your manuscript. Having a backup copy allows you to use Compare to Baseline immediately after Auto-Redact to review the changes that are made by eXtyles.
Proofing Character Styles in Word
Because Word character styles are not displayed in the style area pane in Draft view, you can proof them by clicking into the styled content and noticing the name of the style in the style drop-down on the Common Word Commands section of the eXtyles ribbon; for example,
Auto-Redact and Case and Law Citations
eXtyles Auto-Redact will automatically identify and style, using Word character styles, case and law citations. These character styles are then used by eXtyles to produce granular tagging in the XML for the case and law citations. This eliminates much of the hand work required to tag these citations in the XML.
Law Reference and Law Cite
In the following example, eXtyles has automatically character styled the law reference and citation.
The color coding of the character styles facilitates quick proofreading of the styling, so the editor can determine whether eXtyles has correctly identified the law text: light mauve (e.g., "Pub. L. No.") represents the Law Reference, and dark mauve (e.g., "105-197, 112 Stat. 638") represents the Law Citation.
When exported to XML, the character styles are converted to <law-reference> and <law-cite> tagging. For example,
<para type="flush">On July 16, 1998, Congress enacted the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Compliance Assistance Authorization Act of 1998, <law-reference>Pub. L. No. <law-cite id="1">105-197, 112 Stat. 638</law-cite></law-reference>. Among other things, this Act specifically endorsed state-based consultation programs like SHARP. See <law-reference><law-cite id="1">29 U.S.C. § 670(d)</law-cite></law-reference>.</para>
Note that eXtyles will only automatically populate the <law-cite> id attribute. Because of this, some manual work will be required to add some id and gid values.
Case Reference and Case Cite
In the following example, eXtyles has automatically character styled the case reference and citation.
As with law citations, the color coding of the character styles facilitates quick proofreading of the styling, so the editor can determine whether eXtyles has correctly identified the case text: light green (e.g., "Burkhart Randall Div. of Textron, Inc. v. Marshall") represents the Case Reference, and dark green (e.g., "625 F.2d 1313, 1324 (7th Cir. 1980)") represents the Case Citation.
When exported to XML, the character styles are converted to <case-reference>, <case-name>, and <case-citation> tagging. For example,
<para style="last-para" type="flush">Programmed inspections are not limited in scope. <emphasis type="italic">See</emphasis> <case-reference><case-name><emphasis type="italic">Burkart Randall Div. of Textron, Inc. v. Marshall</emphasis></case-name>, <case-citation id="1">625 F.2d 1313, 1324 (7th Cir. 1980)</case-citation></case-reference>. That is, the CSHO can go into any part of the employer’s facility and inspect any process, operation, program, or other action covered by the OSHAct or OSHA regulation or standard, as the CSHO deems appropriate.</para>
Note that eXtyles will only automatically populate the <case-citation> id attribute. Because of this, some manual work will be required to add some id and gid values.
