Typefi Tags

For eXtyles customers who use Typefi to create PDF files in InDesign from their JATS- or NLM Book DTD-compliant XML, there are a number of tags on the Insert Tag menu that give great control over display items in composition. The precise effect of each of these tags will have been arranged with Typefi to suit the needs of your layout. Note that these effects could also be achieved by using the content-type attribute, as outlined for the various Object Type tags. These tags must appear at the end of the caption of the item to which they apply.

Size Tags

Tags are available to set display items to be small, medium, or large (e.g. Tbl_Small, Fig_Med, and Box_Large). These tags should be placed at the end of the table title, figure caption, or box caption. They result in processing instructions (e.g. <?Table Small?>, <?Figure Med?>, and <?Box Large?>) being added to the XML that will direct Typéfi to set the tables, figures, or boxes a particular size.

For example, this text in the Word file:

Figure 3 The Future Value of a Five-Year Ordinary Annuity<Fig_Large></Fig_Large>

will yield this XML:

<fig id="DOC0123-R-F3" position="float" 
fig-type="figure"><?Figure Large?><label>Figure 3 
</label><caption><title>The Future Value of a 
Five-Year Ordinary Annuity</title></caption><graphic 
xlink:href="DOC0123-R-F3"></graphic></fig> 

Turn Tags

Tags are also available to force display items (tables, figures, and boxes; e.g. Tbl_Turn1, Fig_Turn2, Box_Turn3) to be displayed in a landscape orientation.

Span Tags

The span tags (Tbl_Small_Span, etc.) map to full-table or individual cell styles in InDesign, such as cell shading.
