Marking in Microsoft Word
Use paragraph styles like the following for the preamble to the list. (Note that if the preamble is part of another paragraph, it cannot be marked as part of the list.)
| LISTalph-1_preamble | (listFormat = alphaLowCase) | |
| LISTalphC-1_preamble | (listFormat = alphaCaps) | |
| LISTbullet-1_preamble | (listFormat = bullet) | |
| LISTnmbr-1_preamble | (listFormat = number) | |
| LISTrom-1_preamble | (listFormat = romanCaps) | |
| LISTromC-1_preamble | (listFormat = romanLowCase) |
Use paragraph styles like the following to mark list titles.
| LISTbullet-1_title | (listFormat = bullet) | |
| LISTnmbr-1_title | (listFormat = number) |
Use paragraph styles like the following to mark the first paragraph of each item in the list:
| LISTalph-1_para.first | (listFormat = alphaLowCase) | |
| LISTalphC-1_para.first | (listFormat = alphaCaps) | |
| LISTbullet-1_para.first | (listFormat = bullet) | |
| LISTnmbr-1_para.first | (listFormat = number) | |
| LISTromC-1_para.first | (listFormat = romanCaps) | |
| LISTrom-1_para.first | (listFormat = romanLowCase) |
If a listItem has more than one paragraph, mark subsequent paragraphs with styles like the following:
| LISTalph-1_para |
| LISTbullet-1_para |
| LISTrom-1_para |
Place labels (such as bullets or numbers) at the beginning of each item in the list, using the following character style:
| label |
It is often convenient to place a tab after the label, but this is not strictly necessary, as the conversion process strips tabs.
In embedded lists, use stylenames like the following:
| LISTalph-2_para | (listFormat = alphaLowCase) | |
| LISTbullet-3_label | (listFormat = bullet) |
The number in these stylenames indicates the level of embedding. A bulleted list embedded in a numbered list would be styled LISTbullet-2, because even though it is the first bulleted list, it is two levels deep.
For lists embedded in other structures, use paragraph styles like the following:
| SIDE-LISTbullet-1_preamble | (in figure [sideBar]) | |
| RECIPE-PREP-LISTnmbr_para | (in recipe) |
Note: The paragraph styles of all lines within a group of lists should begin with “LIST”, and the styles for the individual list should have the same prefix. For example, in a numbered list with an embedded bulleted list, all lines should have styles that begin with “LIST”. All lines in the the numbered list should have styles that begin with “LISTnmbr-1_” and all lines in the bulleted list should have styles that begin with “LISTbullet-2_”.
If this isn’t practical, use the xmlPara paragraph style to enter beginning and ending <list> tags around the list, around any lists that contain the list, and around any lists contained by those lists.
This principle applies to lists embedded in other structures as well. For a list in a sidebar, use “SIDE-LISTnmbr-1_”, or use tags in xmlPara throughout the sidebar.
