Issue
There are two main cases in which you might want to add more than one quoted structure within a single provision. (For general help with quoted structures see Quoted structures.)
Constructing a complex inserted provision that starts with a lower level provisions and continues with a higher one (e.g. starts with a paragraph followed by a subsection).
Inserting multiple entries into a list where the entries are not being inserted beside one another (most commonly where they are being inserted “at the appropriate place”)
For case 1., see Cases where you may need to adjust the indent level of a quoted structure or use adjacent quoted structures for instructions on how to use adjacent quoted structures to achieve this.
For case 2, Lawmaker currently doesn’t support this in a straightforward fashion but there is a workaround to achieve it described below. We’ll make this easier to do in a future release ( LMS-1724 - Getting issue details... STATUS ).
Workaround to insert multiple quoted structures in one provision
In the provision that is to contain the multiple quoted structures, insert the first quoted structure as normal. For example, if you are want the provision to contain a number of definitions to be inserted at the appropriate place, insert a quoted structure with a starting element of “definition”. Equally if you want the provision to contain a number of separate table rows, insert a quoted structure with starting element “table”.
In the quoted structure dialog box, set the following text to any punctuation you want to be included at the end of quoted structure.
Once the quoted structure has been inserted, select it by clicking on Quoted structure in the breadcrumbs.
Press Ctrl+c to copy the quoted structure.
Place the cursor after the end of the quoted structure, e.g. next to the punctuation you specified to be included in the following text.
Press Ctrl+v to paste the quoted structure. You should now have two quoted structures starting with the same element type one after the other.
Repeat this process to create further quoted structures as required.
Update the content of each quoted structure with the text etc. that you require.
