When you get a new copy of XMetaL installed as part of computer refresh, or when a new version of XMetyL XMetaL has been installed, you usually need to add some files in order to use our EAD template.
In G:\SCHLES\COLLECTION SERVICES Harvard University\Schlesinger Library - Documents\MANUSCRIPTS\XML\new 2009 schema there are two files:
ead.css (stylesheet)
ead.mcr (macros)
- Drag Copy and drop paste* both files into Rules folder: C:\Program Files\XMetaL 1116.0\Author\Rules
- Drag Copy and drop paste ead.css into Display folder: C:\Program Files\XMetaL 1116.0\Author\Display
- Drag Copy and drop paste ead.mcr into Macros folder: C:\Program Files\XMetaL 1116.0\Author\Macros
*If you have synched SharePoint to your File explorer, right click on the file to copy and paste to the right folder. If you are using SharePoint via the web, select Download from the menu bar, locate the downloaded file on your computer, and copy and paste it to the appropriate folders.
Test by opening a finding aid. You will see it generate some customization files. Then check to see if macros appear under Tools—Macros.
If for some reason you are denied access to the XMetaL folders, contact HUIT and let them know that you need administrator privileges on your computer.
Schema:
Our template has tagging which allows our documents to automatically validate against the LOC schema (on the LOC website). Some people keep a local copy of the schema on their hard drive, either in their XMeteL author folder or on their desktop. This is handy in situations where the LOC schema website is down (uncommon, but it does happen occasionally). The schema can be found here:
G:\SCHLES\COLLECTION SERVICESHarvard University\Schlesinger Library - Documents\MANUSCRIPTS\XML\new 2009 schema\LCXlink schema.
The schema is called ead.xsd
Macros:
A note about macros: the shared macro file will only work on documents running the LOC schema.
