Improved sorting of ping pong motions in the Lords - amendments to amendments

When generating a Lords daily sheet or marshalled list etc. of motions and amendments during ping pong, the sorting algorithm now takes account of any line number mentioned in amendments to amendments to sort them in the correct order if there is more than one relating to the same amendment.

Changes to XML markup for tables

To aid standard compliance and accessibility, the XML markup used to represent tables (which is based on the XHTML standard) has been updated to use <th> elements for cells in a header row rather than <td> elements. There is no different from a presentation perspective, in the Editor or in PDFs.

Document check improvements

...

1. Any manual page breaks that have been inserted in the document will now show up in the document check panel to make it easier to find and delete them when no longer needed -

   .

2. A warning will appear if a table cell in a Bill contains complex content such as a quoted structure or a nested table because it may affect line numbering.

3. Definitions that contain two separate text paragraphs will be highlighted as it is likely that these were intended to be two separate definitions.

4. Empty definition elements, where everything has been deleted other than the definition element itself, are now highlighted and a quickfix option to delete the empty element is provided (LEGDEV-6125).

5. Placeholders that contain text when they should be empty are highlighted and quickfix options are provided to resolve the issue (by either deleting the placeholder element or deleting the text, depending on the specific issue).

6. Provisions containing opening words but no child provisions (e.g. a subsection with no child paragraphs) are highlighted with an option to convert the opening words back to normal content. Usually Lawmaker will do this automatically but the document check provisions an additional way to pick up any cases left behind. (LMS-1642)

7. Any provisions that contain two number elements rather than just one are highlighted and a quickfix provided to delete the second number element (

   ). All provisions should have a maximum of one number element but sometimes by copying and pasting a provision can end up with more than one.

8. Highlight cases where an unnumbered paragraph has been used to create something looking like a quoted structure (textual amendment) (LEGDEV-6090).
