The Title Tab
- Jenny Seifert (Unlicensed)
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), suggested citation title, and running head should be styled as follows to produce correct XML.
Â
<book-title-group>
<book-title>Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network Geomorphological Monitoring Protocol</book-title>
<subtitle>Part I—Ocean Shoreline Position, Version 2</subtitle>
<alt-title alt-title-type="sentence-case">Northeast coastal and barrier network geomorphological monitoring protocol: Part I—Ocean shoreline position, version 2</alt-title>
<alt-title alt-title-type="running-head">Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network </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.
Running Head Title should be used if the document’s running head needs to include a shortened version of the document title.
Cover Photos
Cover photos and/or inside cover photos and their associated captions and credits should be styled in the following ways.
Note that any images that appear in the Word document will be exported from the file during document Activation. In their place will be text such as [EXTYLES REMOVED IMAGE 001], which should be styled as Non-XML Text.
Cover Photos
<fig fig-type="cover">
<caption><p>Foredune and beach face on Profile 12 at the Sandy Hook Unit of Gateway National Recreation Area. The upper photo was taken in the spring of 2019, by Glenn Liu, Rutgers. </p></caption>
<alt-text>Alt-text for the cover photo.</alt-text>
<attrib>The lower photo was taken in the spring of 2020 by Katy Ames.</attrib>
</fig>Inside Cover Photos
Captions for photos that will appear on the inside cover should be styled using the Inside Cover Photo paragraph style. Cover Photo Alt Text and Cover Photo Credit can also be used, as necessary.
<fig fig-type="inside-cover">
<caption><p>Location of coastal areas in Gateway National Recreation Area monitored according to the 1D shoreline position and the 2D dune/beach profile protocols</p></caption>
<alt-text>Alt-text for the cover photo.</alt-text>
<attrib>The lower photo was taken in the spring of 2020 by Katy Ames.</attrib>
</fig>Cover Notes
In some cases a document may contain cover content that is not boilerplate text. This content should be styled using Cover Note.
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.
Authors and Affiliations
Document authors and their affiliations and other notes should be styled using the Authors, Affiliations, and Author Footnote styles.
In the XML the author will automatically be associated with their affiliation.
