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

Title Information

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

<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>
</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.

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

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">
<caption><p>Ballston Beach, Cape Cod National Seashore, MA. </p></caption>
</fig>
<fig id="figa" position="float" fig-type="figure">
<graphic xlink:href="jms0912_figa"/>
<attrib>Photograph by: James Allen</attrib>
</fig>

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.

<notes notes-type="cover-note">
<p>This report is available in digital format from the <underline>Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network website</underline> and the <underline>Natural Resource Publications Management website</underline>. If you have difficulty accessing information in this publication, particularly if using assistive technology, please email <underline>irma@nps.gov</underline>.</p>
</notes>

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.
