Step Four: Markup
Step Four: Markup – p graphs, headers, strong, em, cite, ol, ul, refs, callouts, figures, ads, marketing callout placeholders, sponsor blurb, inline images (if any)
Now for the fun bit. At this point, you should have nice and sparkly clean raw and chapter files. You can approach this section in a few ways, usually I choose either to markup as I go through, from top to bottom, OR I mark up element by element. Your first time through, it might make the most sense to mark everything up element by element start with:
Headers
*Leave the chapter titles at the top of each document for now even tho they wont appear in the body text files when we copy into WP.
microsites start at h4 and rarely use h6, we do not use h5.
Paragraph tags
Every body paragraph needs a p tag. I might even go so far as to say any paragraph needs p tags, better safe then sorry. P tags are one of the first things to check if something isnt displaying correctly. Things to look out for, callout text, OLs/UL’s are especially enigmatic as I can never recall offhand if they need them or not.
Bold text
We use strong tags instead of b tags for bold
Italics
We use em tags for normal italics and cite tags for publications
Lists
Ordered lists and unorderlists are marked up as usual, please avoid using tabs or excess whitespace for the sake of anyone exporting from the web or working from these files in the future. Do not use p tags around list items.
References
References refers to both the end notes and their corresponding inline citation numbers. Please use the ms inline citation snippet in the micro clips folder for the inline citations and the references snippet for the end notes list.
Blockquotes
Nothing special here, just normal blockquote tags should be used
Text Callouts
please use the callout right snippet unless explicitly instructed to use the inline text callout with toggle snippet
Figures
please use exhibit right snippet unless explicitly instructed to use the inline figure callout snippets. each figure will need to have the corresponding figure and thumbnail urls inserted into the snippets
Pull quotes
please use ms pullquote right snippet. For any pullquotes with attribution text, keep the quote and the attribution within the block quote tags, but place the quote and the attribution within separate p tags on different lines
Ads
I need to make snippets for the new ad codes, for now, please use:
ad mobile, and ad right desktop at the very beginning of the first chapter
ad mobile and ad right desktop should be placed roughly in the middle of the report, when in doubt, closer to the top of the report rather than the bottom
ad mobile and ad right desktop should be placed after the first paragraph of About the research chapter
Marketing Callouts
Report PDF download callout at the very beginning of the first chapter, before the ads
If there’s a newsletter callout or Interactive callout, they will generally be placed in chapters 2-3, or as Lauren indicates in the marketing.html file
Sponsor blurb
After the ads and marketing callout in chapter one hopefully there is room for the sponsor blurb, otherwise near the beginning of chapter two is fine. the sponsor blurb uses the ms research info callout snippet and is the same text used in the inside front cover above the citation text.
About the Authors – A Place for Many Things
I have made a snippet of the following example. It obviously look different/wrong here because this CTP uses a different style sheet. please refer to MS ATA snippet for the mark up of this section
