Principles-for-drafting-ETSI-deliverables

Introduction

This guide provides step-by-step instructions to support ETSI rapporteurs and experts in drafting ETSI deliverables. It complements the ETSI skeletons, which are pre-built deliverables, already laid out as required and containing essential titles and text blocks. It is the essential foundation for your working document that can be used for any of the Microsoft Word^® versions.

For the drafting of ETSI deliverables it is recommended to download the following documents and tools from edithelp! website:

•    The appropriate ETSI skeleton.
•    The most recent publication of the ETSI Drafting Rules (EDRs).
•    The template and toolbar of ETSI styles.

Table of contents and List of figures and/or tables

Contents

The table of contents named "Contents" is a required element, automatically generated and already included on page 3 of ETSI skeletons.

For the title use TT style. For the table itself use the field { TOC \o \w "1-9" }.

If it is needed to unlock the table of contents:

Select the entire table of contents, click simultaneously: Ctrl + Shift + F11.

To update the table of contents:

Press on F9.

To lock the Table of Contents:

Select the table of contents and then click simultaneously: Ctrl + F11.

List of figures and/or tables

"List of figures" and/or "List of tables" are optional unnumbered informative elements. They can be automatically generated using the field indicated below (one or the other or both). If used they shall appear after the table of contents.

For the title use TT style .

For the list of figures use the field {TOC \t "TF" \c}

For the list of tables use the field {TOC \t "TH" \c}.

This unnumbered clause is the first required informative element and starts on a new page. The textblock is already included in ETSI skeletons and shall not be changed.

This second unnumbered clause appears on the same page as the IPR clause. It is a required informative element and shall not contain requirements, figures or tables, except for the transposition table in European Standards (ENs) (see clause 3.4). For ENs Harmonised Standards use the specific ETSI EN Harmonised Standard skeletons.

A pre-defined textblock is provided in ETSI skeletons.

More details about the foreword can be found in ETSI Drafting Rules, clause 2.5. See clause 3.2 of the present document if the draft is a multi-part deliverable.
