Front Matter Styles
The Front tab of the eXtyles NLM style palette lists paragraph styles applied to content typically found in the front matter of a publication, such as the Article Title or Keywords. Documentation for these styles is organized into the following sections:
Titles
Your manuscript may include multiple versions of the paper's title, from the primary Article Title to an alternate Running Head. This page describes the Article Title, Article Subtitle, Left and Right Running Head paragraph styles.
Authors
Your manuscript likely includes the names of the contributors to the paper. This page describes the Authors paragraph style and how this paragraph is processed by eXtyles.
Author Affiliations
eXtyles can handle a variety of formats for the author affiliations. This page describes the Affiliations paragraph and the ways in which you can set up this information in the Word document.
Correspondence Details
Similar to author affiliations, eXtyles can support various ways of indicating contact details for one or more corresponding authors.
Abstracts
The abstract is a summary of the contents of the paper, and is typically made available via search services to give potential readers a flavor of the content of the article. eXtyles supports both Teasers (very short summaries, typically a single sentence) and longer Abstracts that may contain several paragraphs.
Keywords
Keywords are typically chosen to highlight terms that catalog the subject matter of the paper, and are often used by search algorithms to improve matches. This page describes how this material should be set up in the Word document to ensure that eXtyles converts it automatically to the correct XML structure.
Abbreviations
Abbreviations are presented as term-definition pairs. This page explains how to set them up in Word so that they are correctly structured in the XML output.
Publication History
eXtyles supports the dates of various publication milestones in a single paragraph style. This page explains how to set up the publication history so that the dates are converted automatically to XML.
Related Articles
Some article types, such as corrigenda, errata, and retractions, are related to another article. This page explains how the details of this related article can be set up in the Word file.
Book Review Styles
Book reviews contain specific information related to the book or other product being reviewed. This page explains how to set this information out in Word so that the correct XML is created, using three paragraph styles.
Non-XML Text
There are times when you may need to include text in the Word file that will not be exported to XML. This page describes how this Non-XML Text style is used.
