Document Activation
The Document Information Dialog
When you select the Activate and Normalize function from the eXtyles menu, eXtyles displays the Document Information dialog. Use this dialog to provide data about the document to eXtyles. eXtyles then saves and maintains this document-specific information with the document and includes the metadata in your exported XML. For example,
Note that fields with an asterisk are required.
A note about special characters
The eXtyles Document Information dialog will support special characters that are copy/pasted into the free-text fields so long as they are Unicode. For example, the copyright symbol in the above example will export with the correct Unicode value ©
The following table describes how to fill in the information in the Document Information dialog and how that information is then carried through to the XML.
