Carrying out an insertion of words in XMetaL

These instructions assume you have checked out the relevant provision that is to be amended, that you have set up your XMetaL workspace, and that you are now ready to carry out the amendment. For guidance on the steps required to reach this point, see Starting Update Tasks.

Step One
  1. In the amending provision window:
    • Read what the amendment is and where in the amended provision it is to be made.
    • Highlight and copy the word or words (including punctuation) to be inserted. You can right-click and copy or use the standard 'edit' and 'copy' menu options from the menu bar.

  2. In the amended provision window, place the cursor in the appropriate position in the text (i.e. where the word or words are to be inserted).

    WARNING: In secondary legislation, drafters' footnotes need to be taken into account when deciding where to place the cursor for the insertion of words. Do not place the cursor between a word and a drafter's footnote reference that relates to it. See Taking into account drafters' footnotes when inserting words into secondary legislation.


  3. In the Resource Manager window single click on the task to highlight it.


  4. Your next action will be determined by whether the amendment covers the whole extent and is either wholly in force or in force for specified purposes, or is for a limited extent, consequently Step Two is described separately for each scenario.

Whole extent

Step Two - whole extent (wholly in force or in force for specified purposes only)


On the menu bar at the top of the page select Legislation - Textual Amendments - Addition.

Insertion of Words 5.png

  • Automatically insert the annotation for this amendment at the end of the amended provision:



Insertion of Words 4.png

  • Generate a green tick next to the task in the Resource Manager window to show that it has been completed.


Once the amendment has been made, the cursor will be situated at the point the automatic annotation was inserted in the amended provision window.

Your next task will be to check the amendment in XMetaL (Step Three), followed by the final task of checking the amendment on the Editorial Site (Step Four).


Limited extent

Step Two - limited extent

On the menu bar at the top of the page select Legislation - Textual Amendments - Limited Extent Addition. In the pop-up 'XMetaL Author Essential', check the Extent entered is correct and click OK. This will:

  • Automatically insert the new word or words, bracketed by opening <addition> and closing </addition> tags in the amended provision.
  • Automatically insert the annotation for this amendment at the end of the amended provision, including the limited extent in brackets after the effect, e.g.
Words in art. 7(2) inserted (E.W.S.) (6.4.2017) by The Social Security (Restrictions on Amounts for Children and Qualifying Young Persons) Amendment Regulations 2017 (S.I. 2017/376), regs. 1, 4
  • Generate a green tick next to the task in the Resource Manager window to show that it has been completed.

Once the amendment has been made, the cursor will be situated at the point the automatic annotation was inserted in the amended provision window.

Your next task will be to check the amendment in XMetaL (Step Three),followed by the final task of checking the amendment on the Editorial Site (Step Four).

See more on limited extent amendments.

Carrying out an insertion of a sub-provision in XMetaL

If you need to insert a whole provision, follow the instructions for Higher Level Insertions

Note: These instructions assume you have checked out the relevant provision that is to be amended, that you have set up your XMetaL workspace, and that you are now ready to carry out the amendment. For guidance on the steps required to reach this point, see Starting Update Tasks.

Step One
  1. In the amending provision window:
    • Read what the amendment is and where in the amended provision it is to be made.

  3. Single click on the task to highlight it in the Resource Manager window.

    4. Your next action will be determined by whether the amendment covers the whole extent and is either wholly in force or in force for specified purposes, or is for a limited extent, consequently Step Two is described separately for each scenario.

Step Three

  1. Once the insertion has been made and the annotation has been automatically generated, check that the annotation is accurate and complete. Carry out any edits if necessary (refer back to the effects spreadsheet if you need to):


    • Type of Effect is correct;
    • Punctuation is correct (e.g. no unnecessary spaces);
    • Date cited is that of the Point of Time you are editing and where applicable the correct In Force Date Qualification has been added after the date (check effects spreadsheet for any qualifications). If your amendment is not ‘wholly in force’ and has a different type of In Force Date Qualification (for example ‘for specified purposes’), this will be noted in the annotation and you will need to check the annotation to make sure that this has been rendered correctly: for further details on what the annotation should look like see Annotations and In Force Date Qualifications;
    • If a limited extent amendment, the extent is referenced;
    • Affected provision is correct;
    • Affecting provision is correct;
    • Savings are referenced (where applicable); and
    • Commencement order is referenced (where applicable).


    See more detail on the structure of textual amendment annotations in Annotation Conventions.


  2. Scroll back up to the where the amendment was made in the amended provision and check the inserted wording or sub-provision is positioned correctly. If inserting a word or words, delete any unnecessary spaces between the existing punctuation and the inserted tags and words, or insert a space if appropriate.


    Where words are inserted and the inserted text starts with punctuation, leave a space between the existing text and the opening square bracket, and where there is punctuation in the existing text immediately after the closing square bracket, close up any space between the closing square bracket and the punctuation, i.e.:

    Existing text [, inserted words], existing text.


    For example:
    Insert Words Whole After.jpg

    In this example, the space has been closed up between the closing addition tag and the semi-colon (at the position of the cursor).


    3. See also: Approach to Update - Some Basic Rules and Exceptions for further guidance on other edits you may need to make.

  3. Once you are satisfied that the amendment is correct and complete, select Legislation - Check In on the menu bar at the top of the page:

  4. Click OK in the pop-up
