Reference Layout Template Options

With the release of XaitPorter version 5.1.201811, new options have been implemented within layout templates to support the reference functionality. Only users with the Template Designer System Role can access these options, all other users will need to contact their Account Manager or Xait Support for assistance. 

Reference Styles

All existing layout templates will now have a default style for references. This style can be changed as follows:

1. Navigate to the Admin workspace and select Layout > Templates from the top black menu bar
2. Right-click a template and select Edit Template
3. Select the Character Styles tab and locate the category Note Styles 
4. Right-click the Reference Marker style and select Edit Character Style

It is also now possible to set both a Prefix Character and Suffix Character for any Character Style, these will be placed either before or after any text that has the specific style applied. Only the following characters are currently supported: () [] {} <> $ %

The Character Style Note Reference has been changed to Endnote Marker and an additional style called Tablenote Marker has been created; by default these two styles will use the same settings, but this functionality will now allow Table Notes to have different settings independent of the Endnotes.

If you want to remove the Reference section from the Table of Contents, you can do so within the layout template by editing the Paragraph Style TOC References and unchecking the option Include in Export. To change the Page Style for that section, edit the Paragraph Style Heading References and use the Change Page Style drop-down menu to select the style you want to apply.
