The Object (Obj) Tab
- Jenny Seifert (Unlicensed)
Following examples show how to use the styles on the Obj tab of the style palette, and the BITS XML that is produced for each style.
Numbered and Bulleted Lists
Both numbered and bulleted lists will take the same paragraph style: Numbered/Bullet List Level. The BITS XML export will identify the list type from the label that is used in the Word document (e.g., number or bullet symbol). Because of this it is important to use the correct list label in the Word document and do not use Word auto-lists.
<list id="L3" list-type="bullet">
<list-item><label>•</label><p>What is the displacement of the shoreline?</p></list-item>
<list-item><label>•</label><p>What are the seasonal dimensions of the displacement?</p></list-item>
<list-item><label>•</label><p>What are the annual dimensions of the displacement?</p></list-item>
<list-item><label>•</label><p>What are the long-term dimensions of the displacement?</p></list-item>
<list-item><label>•</label><p>What are the spatial and temporal trends in the shoreline displacement?</p></list-item>
</list>
<p>Accomplishing the objective of this protocol requires the following steps:</p>
<list id="L4" list-type="order">
<list-item><label>1.</label><p>Standardization of the survey methodology.</p></list-item>
<list-item><label>2.</label><p>Design and construction of the database.</p></list-item>
<list-item><label>3.</label><p>Reporting of the assembled data.</p></list-item>
<list-item><label>4.</label><p>Scientific analysis and interpretation.</p></list-item>
</list>If a list includes subitems, use the styles Numbered/Bullet List Level 2, 3, 4, and so on, as needed.
<list id="L5" list-type="order">
<list-item><label>1.</label><p>Standardization of the survey methodology.</p>
<list id="L6" list-type="alpha-lower">
<list-item><label>a.</label><p>Design and construction of the database.</p></list-item>
<list-item><label>b.</label><p>Reporting of the assembled data.</p></list-item>
</list>
</list-item>
<list-item><label>2.</label><p>Scientific analysis and interpretation.</p></list-item>
</list>Note that the sublist in the above example is correctly wrapped within the first numbered list-item.
As with headings, list levels are hierarchical; that is, a list level 2 must be preceded by a list level 1, and so on.
If a list item continues after being interrupted by a sublist, use the appropriate List Continued style.
<list id="L5" list-type="order">
<list-item><label>1.</label><p>Standardization of the survey methodology includes:</p>
<list id="L6" list-type="alpha-lower">
<list-item><label>a.</label><p>Design and construction of the database.</p></list-item>
<list-item><label>b.</label><p>Reporting of the assembled data.</p></list-item>
</list>
<p>But is not limited to these items.</p>
</list-item>
<list-item><label>2.</label><p>Scientific analysis and interpretation.</p></list-item>
</list>Note that the list continued paragraph is correctly wrapped within the first list-item.
Unnumbered Lists
If a list does not include labels such as bullets or numbers, use the Unnumbered List styles on the Obj tab.
Tables and Figures
Proper styling and export of figures and tables are described in the XML Export section of the guide.
