This page provides more detail on how to use the quoted structure features in certain particular cases. For general help with quoted structures, see Quoted structures.
Inserting wide tables or images into a quoted structure
Setting the Indent level in the quoted structure dialogue box to -1 in will present the contents of the quoted structure set to full page width, i.e. exactly as they would normally appear and without any global additional indent.
This can be useful if your quoted structure is to contain something like a wide table and you need the full page width to display it.
Inserting a schedule which consists of a quoted structure and nothing else
The -1 Indent level can also be used when you want to create a schedule that consists soley of inserted content, e.g. if you want to create an SI with a schedule which contains a annex to some European legislation. In that case, the normal indention is superfluous so you may want to present schedule content without any indentation.
Inserting a quoted structure when the context being amended is itself within a quoted structure
Where the context being amended is itself within a quoted structure then you will need to use indent level 1 to reflect the additional indentation that will be required.
Inserting paragraphs and other provisions that have relative indent in a context where the paragraph etc. is not in its default position
Inserting a quoted structure where the first provision is lower in the hierarchy than subsequent provisions
Some elements have an indent that is dependent on the element’s parent. For example, the indent for closing words, depends on the parent of the closing words. To get around this issue in quoted structures, we have assigned a default indent for these ‘variable indent’ elements. The tables below lists all the possible starting elements, whether they have a fixed indent or a variable indent. For each variable indent element, the default indent assigned to the provision if it is the starting provision is described.
The main purpose of indent levels in the quoted structure properties, is to increase the indent of the overall quoted structure for occasions when you are inserting a textual amendment which is itself already within a quoted structure in the target document. The indent level will be applied globally to that quoted structure so that all provisions inserted within it will have the indent level applied. This indent level is in addition to the single, global indent applied to quoted structures which is represented by the ‘none’ option in the Indent level option.
The indent level in the ‘insert quoted structure’ modal will be applied to all provisions in the quoted structure and was predominantly designed to be used when quoting text from another document that is itself in a quoted structure – in which case you would select indent level 1.
