Contributor(s): José Cabezón, David Germano, Nathaniel Grove, Alison Melnick, Steven Weinberger.
For information regarding THL/JIATS formatting, punctuation, stylistic, and bibliographic conventions, go to the Structure of the Word Document: Front, Body, and Back Sections page. It is also helpful to look at examples from previous issues of JIATS (see 
http://www.jiats.org/ and then click on “Current Issue”).
Note: If you are preparing an HTML essay in a Word document for conversion to XML, you must make all footnotes regular Word footnotes; the paragraph style for footnotes is Footnote Text,ftxt. To apply this style, select the text, activate the Styles box, type “ftxt,” and then hit “enter.”
Word Styles
Authors are NOT applying any Word styles. THL staff needs to apply ALL Word styles, including:
- Word style for indented quote (that is cp1, cp2, cv1, cv2) in BOTH body of essay AND in footnotes.
- Word style for LISTS, both numbered and bulleted.
- Word style for Tibetan, Sanskrit, etc passages or longer strings of text that occur in footnotes. Apply the Lang Tibetan,tib etc Word style. Make sure in the body of the essay that there is the English translation, and that it is in the correct Word style.
Metadata Table
Author are _NOT filling out the metadata table at the top of the Word doc. THL staff needs to do that.
