Example 1: Meta Notes
The following example shows a properly styled Meta Note section.
Meta Notes can be single paragraphs of text that describe general information about the document; in those cases, the Meta Note Title is not required.
Meta Notes can be placed in either the front or back of the Word document, but they will always export to the <front> in the XML.
Word Sample
XML Sample
The following XML is derived from the above Word content. The Meta Note content is exported to <std-doc-meta> in the <front>.
Meta Note with Title
<meta-note>
<title>Special Notes</title>
<p>API publications necessarily address problems of a general nature. With respect to particular circumstances, local, state, and federal laws and regulations should be reviewed.</p>
<p>Neither API nor any of API's employees, subcontractors, consultants, committees, or other assignees make any warranty or representation, either express or implied, with respect to the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of the information contained herein, or assume any liability or responsibility for any use, or the results of such use, of any information or process disclosed in this publication. Neither API nor any of API’s employees, subcontractors, consultants, or other assignees represent that use of this publication would not infringe upon privately owned rights.</p>

Example 2: Keywords
For subject term or keyword listings, Keywords is applied to the appropriate paragraph in the document's front matter.
The strongest symbols to separate keywords are semicolons, em dashes, and bullets. These characters are highly unlikely to occur within the text of a single keyword. If eXtyles finds one of these characters within the keywords paragraph, it will use that character to separate the paragraph into individual keywords.
If eXtyles fails to find semicolons, em dashes, or bullets in the keyword paragraph, it will try weaker characters in an attempt to parse the list. These characters are tabs, em spaces, commas (followed by a space), and slashes with spaces on either side.
Word Sample
XML Sample
eXtyles automatically parsed out the Keyword title and individual keywords using the semicolon separators in the Word document.
Keywords
<kwd-group><title>Keywords: </title><kwd>computer security incident</kwd><kwd>incident handling</kwd><kwd>incident response</kwd><kwd>information security</kwd></kwd-group>
Example 3: Front Matter Sections
Following is an example of a properly styled front matter section (in this case, Introduction).
This example shows that Front Matter Text is used for the main text of the section, but regular list styles from the Body or List tabs can be used as needed.
Word Sample
XML Sample
The Introduction <sec> is located in the <front> of the XML.
Introduction (Front Matter)
<sec sec-type="introduction">
<title>Introduction</title>
<p>Post-combustion NOx control systems reduce levels of NOx emissions by converting the NOx formed during the combustion process to nitrogen (N<sub>2</sub>) gas. The chemical reactions required to convert the NOx to N<sub>2</sub> for the systems described in this standard are applied downstream of the combustion zone. These techniques introduce a reactant into the flue gas stream to react with the NOx. The reaction may be completed with or without the use of catalyst.</p>
<p>It may be necessary to combine more than one method of post-combustion control to achieve the desired level of NOx reduction.</p>
<p>The application of any NOx reduction technique and control technology is most often in compliance with an environmental regulation requirement, which include both instantaneous and time averaged performance criteria. Reliable and effective performance of the NOx control systems and related mechanical systems and components are critical in meeting regulatory requirements and environmentally responsible operation.</p>
<p>The fundamental elements that are required to provide the expected reliability and performance requirements for post-combustion NOx control systems specified and supplied through the use of this standard include the following:</p>
<list id="L1" list-type="bullet">
<list-item><label>—</label><p>process definition;</p></list-item>
<list-item><label>—</label><p>process performance expectations;</p></list-item>
<list-item><label>—</label><p>system design selection;</p></list-item>
<list-item><label>—</label><p>mechanical definition of systems and components.</p></list-item></list>
<p>The selected post-combustion NOx control systems and equipment should be capable of the specified performance for a design period for the run length specified in the data sheets without the need for an unplanned outage of the post-combustion NOx treatment control systems and equipment or the associated combustion equipment.</p>

Example 4: Acknowledgments and Committee Information
The following example shows the correct styling of Acknowledgments and Committee information.
The two sections do not necessarily need to appear in this order in the document.
Word Sample
XML Sample
The acknowledgments (<ack>) is located in the <front> of the XML.
