A child element is an element that will be inserted within the current element your cursor is in. For example, if your cursor is in a subsection then a child would be a paragraph, definition or step.

The CCA first shows the valid siblingEssentially the rule has been built such that sibling element and provisions will appear first in the insert menu (also referred to as the Content Completion Assistant (CCA)) with valid child provisions appearing after. As a provision rarely exists in isolation, the rule will also provide sibling provisions for all parent provisions further up the provision ‘branch’ you are in.  There is a special rule applied to ‘heading’, ‘content’ and ‘closing word’ elements within the provisions which have enabled us to dictate the first element/provision at the top of the Content Completion Assistant which is used by the ‘default next element’ insert shortcuts.  See ‘Next default element’ table to find out what these special rules areshows options in the following order:

  • First, the valid siblings of the immediate provision your cursor is in.

  • Then the valid children of the provision your cursor is in.

  • Last, the valid siblings of each ancestor above the provision your cursor is in.

So, for example, if your cursor is in a subsection within a Bill, the CCA might look like:

...

In this case:

  • The valid sibling of the provision your cursor is in is Subsection (1).

  • The valid children are: Paragraph (a), Definition, Step, Heading, Unnumbered Paragraph.

  • The valid siblings of ancestors of the provision are: Section, Cross heading, Part.

It is possible to insert bullet lists into your documents (bills & SIs).  If you right-click on the bullet point and select "Update List Style" you can change the bullet point to an em-dash list or no bullet point.
