Content at the start of a document should be styled using items on the Front tab of the eXtyles style palette. This section describes how to correctly style the front sections of your content.

Report Title and Subtitle

The report title and subtitle (if present) can be styled using the following from the Front tab of the eXtyles style palette.

Which produces the following XML:

<book-title-group>
<book-title>Optimal Use of Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery</book-title>
<subtitle>A Health Technology Assessment</subtitle>
</book-title-group>

Alternatively, the report subtitle may be run-in to the title following a colon. In this case the entire line should be styled as Report Title, and the Report Subtitle style will not be used.

Authors, Group Authors, and Affiliations

Authors

A report that has authors listed will need to have those author names placed immediately below the report title (or, subtitle). Any affiliations associated with the authors should be placed following the author names, on their own lines and styled with the Affiliations paragraph style. For example:

During Author Processing, parts of the author line are identified with unique character styles, which produces the following XML:

<contrib-group content-type="Authors">
<contrib>
<name name-style="western"><surname>Hill</surname><given-names>Shannon</given-names></name>
</contrib> 
<contrib>
<name name-style="western"><surname>McCormack</surname><given-names>Suzanne</given-names></name>
</contrib>
</contrib-group>

Group Authors

Some CADTH reports have authors that belong to specific groups; for example, Clinical Review Authors and Economic Evaluation Authors. These author names should also be placed immediately after the report title (or, subtitle), and the name of the group to which the authors belong should prefix the author line; for example,

As with standard author lines, eXtyles Author Processing will automatically apply character styles to the parts of the authors' names. In this case, affiliation numbers are also identified and styled. However, eXtyles Author Processing is unable to automatically style the group name, shown with blue highlighting in the above example.

This author group information will need to be styled manually. To do this, with your cursor highlight the author group information and select the au_group style from the style drop-down menu on the eXtyles ribbon to apply the correct style:

The resulting XML will look like this:

<contrib-group content-type="Group-Authors">
<role>Clinical Review Authors</role> 
<contrib>
<name><surname>Poitras</surname><given-names>Veronica</given-names><prefix>Dr.</prefix></name>
<xref ref-type="aff" rid="aff1"><sup>1</sup></xref>
</contrib> 
<contrib>
<name><surname>Wells</surname><given-names>Charlotte</given-names></name>
<xref ref-type="aff" rid="aff1"><sup>1</sup></xref></contrib> 
<contrib>
<name><surname>Hutnik</surname><given-names>Cindy</given-names><prefix>Dr.</prefix></name>
<xref ref-type="aff" rid="aff2"><sup>2</sup></xref>
</contrib>
</contrib-group>
