Ulysses Lateiner (Cell Press, he/him): I feel like I missed out on the full eXtyles experience if I never got to worry about a dongle as part of the installation process…
Ron Keller (FASS): Should we continue to look for and correct nested tables before feeding files to ARC?
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): SORRY EVERYONE that was me pressing the wrong button by mistake
Robin Dunford (Inera): @Ron – if there is a table containing content nested inside an empty table, we will now “detable” the outer table, leaving the inner table intact
Ron Keller (FASS): @Robin – Thanks!
Robin Dunford (Inera): but otherwise, ys
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): https://www.edifix.com/blog/introducing-edifix-api-2-0
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): FYI, if Modern Comments are not your favorite thing, we have a Word Tip coming up that will show you how to get your Word Comments back to normal
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): … for specific values of “normal” 😉
Robin Dunford (Inera): and once you’ve run an eXtyles process with modern comments switched on, switching off modern comments won’t turn existing comments back to “non-modern” comments… (sadface)
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): Unfortunately true 🙁
Robin Dunford (Inera): Anyone who was at Frankfurt last week will have seen something of a change in our environment, from our little cupboard right on the edge of Hall 4.2 to Wiley’s palatial and beautiful stand!
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): For more on Wiley Partner Solutions: https://www.wiley.com/en-us/business/partner-solutions
Monica Mungle: Modern comments are unpopular with the JAMA Network manuscript editing team.
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): So far I have not met anyone with whom Modern Comments *are* popular. But I’m sure they must be out there somewhere … ?
Ron Keller (FASS): …mostly within the Office developers.
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): Like, remember the Office 2002 magic rosette?

Sylvia Hunter (Inera): Or was that Office 97?

Allegra Torres: you’re on your own with bringing back Clippy

Julia Gilstein (NEJM) (she/her): Aw I loved Clippy
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): Yes I think Clippy is a minority taste lol
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): Hmmmm maybe we should have a poll
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): Clippy vs No Clippy
Ulysses Lateiner (Cell Press, he/him): did anyone ever figure out what Clippy’s pronouns were?
Ulysses Lateiner (Cell Press, he/him): I was about to type something and realized I didn’t know how to refer to him/her/it/they
Robin Dunford (Inera): I’m guessing “it”
Ulysses Lateiner (Cell Press, he/him): I’m thinking “zey”
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): I mean Clippy did a lot of mansplaining…
Julia Gilstein (NEJM) (she/her): 😆
Anna G.: 🤣
Allegra Torres: 🤣 cancel clippy for mansplaining
Gianna Flores (Inera): deep clippy lore
Ulysses Lateiner (Cell Press, he/him): the Save document animation was my favorite…
Allegra Torres: ….how did clippy ride a bicycle
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): For those who’ve arrived since I last said this, please feel free to put your full name and organization in your Zoom screen name! To Rename yourself, use the “meatball menu” (3 horizontal dots) at the top right-hand corner of your personal zoom rectangle

Sylvia Hunter (Inera): Shift-F7, 2 = Print Preview
Gianna Flores (Inera): very interesting hearing about technology that’s older than me!! 😮
Sara Thompson (CFA Institute) (she/her): WordPerfect was our household tool! My dad still feels very passionately about it.
Robin Dunford (Inera): way to rub it in @Gianna! 😉
Stacey Herrmann: Anyone else remember the ZIP or Jaz drives? They could hold one whole gigabite!
Robin Dunford (Inera): though I do still miss Lotus 1-2-3
Kevin O’Donovan, ICF: WordStar’s last stable release: WordStar 7.0d / 1999
Gianna Flores (Inera): 😂
Kristi Hartley: Anybody else use a mag card typewriter?
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): Pretty sure my mom still has a WP 5.0 software manual in her study
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): AND we had a pirated copy of a Jeopardy! game on a 5.25” floppy disk
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): HOURS of entertainment
Caran Wilbanks (CDC) (she/her): the desktop computer I’m using now still has a zip drive in it.
Granularizing BITS for Product(ion) Flexibility
Jennifer Seifert (Inera): A good Scrabble word!
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): Happy 50th birthday, CFA Program! 🥳
Jennifer Seifert (Inera): Please feel free to add questions for Cindy to the chat and I’ll bring them up during the Q&A — or, you can chime in during the Q&A
Stacy Lathrop: Why book parts and not book part wrappers? How do you “put together” the book? Can you process / validate the book parts individually?
Debbie Lapeyre (Mulberry): Using BITS Q&A tags. Great!
Robin Dunford (Inera): Are there particular issues that you run into when taking BITS XML back to Word?
Debbie Lapeyre (Mulberry): A huge callout for persistent identifiers!!
Debbie Lapeyre (Mulberry): Yes! Deconstruction is very difficult, construction much easier and more flexible!
Debbie Lapeyre (Mulberry): Thank you so much for a dynamite case study, this is the way it is supposed to be!
Robin Dunford (Inera): It’s so difficult to keep processes up to date while you still have to get stuff out the door!
Debbie Lapeyre (Mulberry): Do BITS book parts have ALL the metadata you need?
Bill Kasdorf: It’s almost always better not to customize BITS, just use BITS as BITS.
Trevor Hiblar: XML to Word is complex, but doable!
Robin Dunford (Inera): Thanks @Trevor – maybe we should talk about it over a virtual beer?
Markup Guild: What We Talk About When We Talk About Tags
Julia Gilstein (NEJM) (she/her): Excellent choice on the seasonal graphic 💀
Ulysses Lateiner (Cell Press, he/him): I don’t think I even had boxes…
Lauren Kmec (AAAS): I am in the midst of a move now – so true!
Liz Blake (Inera): hahaha
Ulysses Lateiner (Cell Press, he/him): BRILLIANT
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): This is truly the element & attribute set the real world needs
Julia Gilstein (NEJM) (she/her): 🤣
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): On pourrait aussi dire “fourchette”
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): Or “tenedor”
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): Give me a second to remember the Yiddish …
Robin Dunford (Inera): <named-content>
Robin Dunford (Inera): @specific-use=”mermaid”?
Debbie Lapeyre (Mulberry): Love the <named-content> example
Lauren Kmec (AAAS): Does the Markup Guild have a relationship with PubMed, CrossRef, and other indexers?
Jennifer Kemp, Crossref (she/her): happy to chat!
Debbie Lapeyre (Mulberry): I hope the Guild will generate recommendations to the JATS, BITS, STS Committees, PLEASE!
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): We’ll reconvene for DTD Updates with Debbie in 4 minutes!
What’s Happening in JATS, BITS, and STS in 2022
Robin Dunford (Inera): <institution-department> – needs to be repeatable and to allow <institution-department> as a child and then we might finally be able to tag French academic addresses correctly!
O’Connor, Charles (ELS-HBE): +1
Robin Dunford (Inera): <collab> was ripe for reform! Well done guys
Ron Keller (FASS): +1
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): The only problem with virtual XUG is Debbie can’t hand out mini chocolate bars when we find a typo on her slides 🙁
Robin Dunford (Inera): also pleased to see a revamp of <supplementary-material>!
Cindy Maisannes: ooh, nice, Debbie 🙂
Jennifer Seifert (Inera): Yes, Sylvia!
Robert Wheeler: Carve that pumpkin!
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): If you haven’t checked out the new BITS tag library: https://jats.nlm.nih.gov/extensions/bits/tag-library/2.1/
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): And the JATS tag library: https://jats.nlm.nih.gov/publishing/tag-library/1.3/
Trevor Hiblar: I was, for non XUG reasons, just looking at that and wondering why everything is collapsed now. The new look is good!
Robert Wheeler: NISO STS Tag Library, too : ) https://www.niso-sts.org/
Nick Taylor: 🙌
Debbie Lapeyre (Mulberry): Yes, Trevor, the collapsed look was user requested. BUT, remember that you can use the tiny diamonds at the right of the screen to open and close everything on your screen, and your choice is “stickY, it will do the same when you change pages.
Making Auto-Redact Work for You: Better Living through Enhanced Auto-Redact
Jo Ripoll (Inera): For anyone interested in subscribing to the newsletter: https://www.inera.com/news/subscribe/
Jennifer Seifert (Inera): A huge shout out to Joni for her help with coming up with examples for this session!
Robin Dunford (Inera): Auto-redact also already removes white highlighting in Word – yes, white highlighting is a thing!
Jennifer Seifert (Inera): of course it is 😆
Robin Dunford (Inera): Word cannot find specific highlight colors, as well – you either remove them all or none
Jennifer Seifert (Inera): yes good point @Robin
Robin Dunford (Inera): It is also possible to switch off saving a baseline before auto-redact, which can be useful if you are testing new auto-redact rules and otherwise generate dozens of baselines – contact Support if this is an issue for you
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): Those of us who used to work as copyeditors strongly suggest using the character-level option in Compare to Baseline
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): (At least, I do)
Jennifer Seifert (Inera): Shout out to our own Robin Dunford for his development work to expand what Auto-Redact has to offer!
Lauren Kmec (AAAS): +1 Sylvia
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): 👏 Robin
Robin Dunford (Inera): I also find myself increasingly using tricks like temporary character styles or even temporary character entities that can allow a second rule to find text that has already been touched by an earlier rule – happy to talk to eXtyles admins about that over a virtual beer or after XUG
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): [email protected]
Robin Dunford (Inera): I do have a question for the room about auto-redact – it can’t currently find e.g. a word in italic in a string of italic text but not find that same word when it is not italic, but Word _can_ do this. I don’t have a silver bullet as to how we might do it, but would anyone think that might be useful?
Lee Calibeo: For things like that, we created a new Advanced Process written in Perl, that can handle situations like that.
Robin Dunford (Inera): Interesting @Lee – that’s a good solution
eXtyles+: A New Partnership with J&J
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): Sorry, my mic was hot and I didn’t realize (but I stand by my WOOO for the CMS)
Robin Dunford (Inera): It came up on a recent admin training trip, but I can’t remember the example
Allegra Torres (J&J Editorial, she/her): Sylvia gets me!
Liz Blake (Inera): Haha she does!
Ulysses Lateiner (Cell Press, he/him): nothing quite like the sight of a fully eXtyles-processed reference list…
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): It’s so satisfying!
Liz Blake (Inera): I’m biased but I agree
Robin Dunford (Inera): +1 @Ulysses!
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): BRING ON THE RAINBOW CONFETTI
Anne Daniels, CFA Institute (she/her/hers): Absolutely!
Ulysses Lateiner (Cell Press, he/him): it also makes me hungry for Skittles…
Robin Dunford (Inera): mmm… XUG table candy
Ulysses Lateiner (Cell Press, he/him): YES. A BOWL OF SKITTLES WITH THE EXTYLES LOGO PRINTED ON THEM
Robin Dunford (Inera): if you tell young people today that such a thing once existed, they don’t believe you
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): As far as I can tell, you cannot get customized Skittles (only Skittles in customized packaging) but as we know, you CAN get customized M&Ms
Robin Dunford (Inera): there go my hopes and dreams
Ulysses Lateiner (Cell Press, he/him): @Sylvia we’ll just have to march in the streets for change
Robin Dunford (Inera): What do we want? Customized M&Ms. When do we want them? In time for XUG XIX
Ulysses Lateiner (Cell Press, he/him): 🥁📣💥
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): The OTHER wonderful thing about a fully eXtyled reference list is that it means you don’t have to manually copyedit a 100-item reference list
Cindy Maisannes: I tell everyone that eXtyles is my favorite logic puzzle
Joni Dames (Inera): Cindy, I love that!
Gianna Flores (Inera): that was my exact thought!!
Anna G.: Is it weird that it’s the eXtyles/Typefi troubleshooting that makes my day? 😛
Allegra Torres (J&J Editorial, she/her): the J&J unofficial mascot bird is the Canadian Goose
Sylvia Hunter (Inera): Slides from today’s sessions are now linked from the XUG homepage: https://www.inera.com/user-group-meeting/
Jennifer Kemp: Thank you!
Sara Billings/JAMA Network: Thank you!
Allegra Torres (J&J Editorial, she/her): Thank you!
Nkoli Ukpabi (ICF): Thank you!
Lucas (Editora Cubo, BRA): Thank you!
