Version 16.2 of Lawmaker is a minor release containing a number of security and bug fixes.
It was released on [x June 2024].
Document check updates
A number of changes to the document checks have been included in v.16.2:
New rules
Regulation and article numbers in SIs and SSIs should end with a full stop.
Unnumbered paragraphs shouldn’t start with a quote mark - this suggests that the unnumbered paragraph has incorrectly been used to create a definition or a textual amendment.
Highlight cases where the "Other Date" option has been used when setting the dates in an SI/SSI to ensure the user double-checks that the correct option has been selected.
Highlight cases where a quoted structure containing a partial element has been imported from http://legislation.gov.uk (e.g. a quoted structure containing only a heading) so it can be altered to work correctly with Lawmaker.
Step elements should have a number in the form “Step x”.
Identify nested <mod> elements and provide a quick option to delete them.
Chapter numbers in citations in footnotes should have a space between “c.” and the number, e.g. “c. 13”
SI and SSI citations in footnotes should be formatted correctly, e.g. “S.I. 2024/34” or “S.S.I. 2023/1234”.
Updates to existing rules
The rule that identifies missing quotation marks at end of quoted structure is now mandatory rather than advisory.
The rule that identifies leading and trailing spaces has been extended to include “figure spaces” which are created by the autocorrect feature when a user types in two spaces in a row.
