    • right-click within the selected provisions in the structure view or the Editor and select Wrap element…,

    • from the toolbar select Tools>Wrap element… or

    • use the keyboard shortcut Alt+w.

  3. Select from the menu that appears the element (e.g. Part) that you want to wrap the provisions with.

Selecting provisions to wrap

To select the provisions you want you can either:

  • Select the provisions in the structure view - see Using the structure view.

  • Highlight the provisions in the Editor by dragging your cursor from the beginning to the end of them (or vice versa).

The system will attempt to acquire a lock on the appropriate document fragment if it hasn’t got one already and then will insert the selected grouping-level provision, wrapping it around the selected lower-level provisions to create valid XML

...

Info
  • Lawmaker will only show the elements that you can validly wrap the selection in. This will depend on the document type and the provisions you have selected but can also depend on the parent provisions, e.g. you can only wrap provisions in a Chapter if they are already within a Part. You can’t wrap provisions in an element they are already wrapped with, e.g. provisions already within a cross-heading cannot be wrapped in a cross-heading.

  • To wrap provisions, Lawmaker will take a lock on the parent of those provisions. If it can’t get a lock (because someone else is editing the parent) then you won’t be able to complete the wrap operation.

The following tables summarise the wrap options dependent on your selection.
