------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Sep 30 00:31:43 +0000 2008 ------- To support internationalization of this feature, I suggest: 1. Let a user select a text string and tag it as ToA material. Compiling the ToA would then copy all these strings together into a table together with their (possibly dynamic) page numbers or page ranges. The user would then manually categorize, sort, edit, and format the strings as the user wishes, thus being able to conform to the user's nation's practice. Even though editing the ToA would be manual, that would be faster than having to copy manually and then edit manually. 2. Define particulars for each nation for which OOo has a language version. Local programmers can do this as demand warrants. Permit a user to select a national set of particulars from all national sets, regardless of the language being used by their installation of OOo; for example, an American lawyer might write a brief for an Israeli court. 3. Define particulars for each subnation. A subnation can be defined any way local users wish. For example, in the U.S., military law cited to military tribunals uses different conventions than those that apply to civilian law; thus, "UCMJ, Article 3" is clearer to military officers but a Title 10 U.S.C. reference to the same UCMJ provision is clearer to civilian lawyers and judges. Programmers familiar with demands of any subnational community can program this. 4. Create an empty list of authority types. OOo should populate the list from each set of national and subnational particulars programmed by whomever programs them; that requires a standard by which programmers would declare authority types (at least one) so that OOo can extract them from each national/subnational set of particulars. To keep the list short enough for one user's needs, all national and subnational sets of particulars should populate a checklist in an options dialog; a user may then opt for only certain set(s) to be relevant to their work, in which case only those sets would populate the authority types list. Then, when a user tags a string as ToA-eligible, the user can assign an authority type to it before compiling the ToA. The compiled ToA would then be presorted.
