Example 1: Meta Notes

The following example shows a properly styled Meta Note section. Note also that Meta Notes can be single paragraphs of text that describe general information about the document; in those cases, the Meta Note Title is not required.

Word Sample

XML Sample

The following XML is derived from the previous Word content. The Meta Note content is exported to <std-doc-meta> in the <front>.

<meta-note>
<title>Special Notes</title>
<p>API publications necessarily address problems of a general nature. With respect to particular circumstances, local, state, and federal laws and regulations should be reviewed.</p>
<p>Neither API nor any of API's employees, subcontractors, consultants, committees, or other assignees make any warranty or representation, either express or implied, with respect to the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of the information contained herein, or assume any liability or responsibility for any use, or the results of such use, of any information or process disclosed in this publication. Neither API nor any of API’s employees, subcontractors, consultants, or other assignees represent that use of this publication would not infringe upon privately owned rights.</p>
</meta-note>

Example 2: Keywords

For subject term or keyword listings, Keywords is applied to the appropriate paragraph in the document's front matter.

The strongest symbols to separate keywords are semicolons, em dashes, and bullets. These characters are highly unlikely to occur within the text of a single keyword. If eXtyles finds one of these characters within the keywords paragraph, it will use that character to separate the paragraph into individual keywords.

If eXtyles fails to find semicolons, em dashes, or bullets in the keyword paragraph, it will try weaker characters in an attempt to parse the list. These characters are tabs, em spaces, commas (followed by a space), and slashes with spaces on either side.

Word Sample

XML Sample

Note in this XML sample how eXtyles automatically parsed out the Keyword title and individual keywords using the semicolon separators in the Word document.

<kwd-group><title>Keywords: </title><kwd>computer security incident</kwd><kwd>incident handling</kwd><kwd>incident response</kwd><kwd>information security</kwd></kwd-group>

Example 3: Front Matter Sections

Following is an example of a properly styled front matter section (in this case, Introduction). Note that Front Matter Text is used for the main text of the section, but regular list styles from the Body or List tabs can be used as needed.

Example 4: Acknowledgments and Committee Information

The following example shows the correct styling of Acknowledgments and Committee information. Note that the two sections do not necessarily need to appear in this order in the document.
