En bref

Les dernières pages d’une thèse de doctorat, du dernier chapitre à l’index. Postext construit l’index à partir de mots marqués dans le texte et complète leurs numéros de page.

Ce que vous allez composer

Les sept dernières pages d’une thèse de doctorat sur la lecture à l’écran et sur papier, composées sur une page B5 en noir et blanc. Le chapitre 6, l’annexe A, le glossaire, les références et l’index s’ouvrent chacun sous la même bande noire de 62 mm de haut, avec le titre en réserve. Le chapitre montre son chiffre dans la bande et l’annexe sa lettre ; les sections de fin portent le surtitre BACK MATTER et une courte note en italique. Le chapitre court sur une seule colonne justifiée. Le glossaire et l’index passent à deux colonnes en drapeau et les références reviennent à une seule, avec les lignes suivantes de chaque entrée en retrait. L’index vient de marques dans le texte : le moteur trie les termes sous leurs lettres, trouve la page de chaque marque et regroupe les pages consécutives en intervalles comme 171–73. Des numéros en gras renvoient aux définitions du glossaire.

Cette recette répond à

  • Comment composer une bibliographie ou un glossaire (retrait suspendu, corps plus petit) ?
  • Comment construire un index en fin de livre dont les numéros de page changent d’eux-mêmes quand le texte bouge ?
  • Comment empêcher les titres, les mots en gras et les puces de sortir en bleu ?
  • Comment numéroter les titres (1, 1.1, 1.1.1) et styler chaque niveau différemment ?
  • Comment régler les titres courants : titre du livre sur la page de gauche, titre du chapitre sur celle de droite, numéro de page à l’extérieur ?
  • Comment forcer un saut de page ou de colonne, et faire commencer chaque chapitre sur une page de droite ?

// of either parity, the appendix a recto (a style that sets no break inherits its level's

// its band has no numeral) and brings its own running heads; the glossary and the index
// set their pages in two columns until the next '#'. The appendix counts, in letters: its
// template prints the level's counter as A, B… config() takes both lists below.

Préparation

#1 · Donner un style de titre à chaque partie des pages de fin

Le code est dans la réponse courte plus haut. # Glossary {style="glossary" note="…"} ouvre une section qui court jusqu’au titre de niveau 1 suivant, et ses pages prennent la mise en page, les titres courants et l’ouverture du style (styles de titre) : le glossaire et l’index passent ainsi à deux colonnes, tandis que les références, dont le style ne règle aucune mise en page, reviennent à la colonne unique du document. numbered: false tient ces titres hors du compte des chapitres (supprimez-le et la bande du glossaire imprime 2), et chaque style nomme son saut de page, car un style qui n’en nomme aucun hérite du 'odd' du chapitre et laisse des versos blancs. Les entrées du glossaire et des références sont des paragraphes d’un bloc :::paragraphs{style="…"} en 9,3 sur 12,4 pt, contre 11 sur 14,6 pour le texte, avec des lignes suivantes suspendues de 1 em dans le glossaire et de 1,5 em dans les références (styles de paragraphe).

#2 · Dessiner une bande pour toutes les ouvertures

script.js · lignes 55–79dans le code complet
const SINK = 8; // lines reserved, 41.2 mm: 3.2 mm more than the band, and text on the grid
// Design text sets each baseline 0.8 of its line under the line's top, and a line is 1.2 × the
// size unless lineHeight says otherwise. In mm, a line's part above its baseline and below it:
const PT = 25.4 / 72;
const above = (size, lineHeight = 1.2) => 0.8 * size * lineHeight * PT;
const below = (size, lineHeight = 1.2) => 0.2 * size * lineHeight * PT;
const KICKER = 4.3, TITLE = BAND - TOP - 9.5; // mm under the text block's top: two baselines
// A bottom-aligned box that ends below() under a baseline sets its last line on it. The
// numeral's line is 0.72 of its size, so the line fits inside its box.
const text = (id, content, family, size, lineHeight, baseline, edge, w, extra) => ({
  kind: 'text', id, content, fontFamily: family, fontSize: pt(size), lineHeight,
  color: col('paper'), overflow: 'wrap', align: edge.endsWith('right') ? 'right' : 'left',
  verticalAlign: 'bottom', ...extra, placement: { anchor: { to: 'container', edge },
    size: { width: mm(w), height: mm(baseline + below(size, lineHeight)) } } });
// The mark is '{number}': the chapter's 6, the appendix's A, nothing on an unnumbered heading.
const opener = (label) => ({ enabled: true, minHeight: pt(SINK * LEAD),
  slot: { elements: [
    { kind: 'box', id: 'band', style: { backgroundColor: col('band') }, placement: {
      anchor: { to: 'page', edge: 'top-left' }, size: { width: 'fill', height: mm(BAND) } } },
    text('label', label, LABEL, 8, 1.2, KICKER, 'top-left', 80,
      { fontWeight: 700, letterSpacing: pt(1.6), textTransform: 'uppercase' }),
    text('title', '{titleText}', DISPLAY, 34, 1.04, TITLE, 'top-left', 84),
    text('mark', '{number}', DISPLAY, 118, 0.72, TITLE, 'top-right', 34),
    text('note', '{attr.note}', TEXT, 8.6, 1.3, TITLE, 'top-right', 44, { italic: true }),
  ] } });

La marque est {number} : 6 sur le chapitre, A sur l’annexe et rien sur un titre non numéroté. Une seule maquette sert aux trois, et les sections de fin impriment leur {attr.note} là où serait le chiffre. minHeight réserve huit lignes de 14,6 pt, soit 41,2 mm depuis le haut du bloc de texte, ce qui dégage la bande de 3,2 mm et garde le texte sur sa grille. Le texte de maquette pose sa ligne de base à 0,8 de la ligne : une boîte alignée en bas dont le pied se place below() sous une ligne de base pose sa dernière ligne sur cette ligne de base. Le titre, le chiffre de 118 pt et la dernière ligne de la note reposent tous sur la ligne de base du titre, 52,5 mm sous le bord du format. La ligne du chiffre vaut 0,72 de son corps : la ligne tient donc dans sa boîte.

#3 · Lettrer l’annexe depuis son style

script.js · lignes 109–115dans le code complet
// The style's '{1:A}' (see answer) prints the level's counter as a letter, and startAt=1 on the
// first appendix restarts it after chapter 6. The band and the running head read that letter.
// A resource template's {h1} is a number unless it names a style: '{h1:A}.{n}' counts the
// tables A.1, A.2… and B.1 in a second appendix, with one type for all of them.
const appendixHeads = heads('Appendix {chapterNumber}. {chapterTitle}');
const appendixTables = { ...defaultResourceTypes(LANG).find((type) => type.id === 'table'),
  id: 'table-a', numberingTemplate: '{h1:A}.{n}', resetOn: 'h1' }; // a copy of 'table'

Le style de l’annexe règle numberingTemplate: '{1:A}', qui imprime le compteur du niveau sous forme de lettre, et # Interview guide {style="appendix" startAt=1} relance ce compteur : la première annexe est A et non G (styles de titre). La bande lit la lettre par {number} et le titre courant par {chapterNumber}. Le {h1} d’un type de ressource imprime le compteur sous forme de nombre sauf s’il nomme un style : les tableaux de l’annexe prennent donc un type dont le modèle est '{h1:A}.{n}', soit A.1, A.2 et ainsi de suite, et B.1 dans une deuxième annexe ; avec le type par défaut, le tableau serait le Table 1.1. Les titres du chapitre lui-même comptent selon les modèles des niveaux : '{1}.{2}' imprime 6.1, et continuation.headings.h1: 5 en fait le sixième chapitre.

#4 · Placer les titres courants sur le bord extérieur

script.js · lignes 83–105dans le code complet
const HEAD = 17.5, GAP = 9; // mm: the heads' baseline under the trim; the folio to the words
// Each text is placed by its top, above() over HEAD: the folio and the capitals share a baseline.
const head = (id, content, parity, edge, x, size = 7.5, extra) => ({ kind: 'text', id, content,
  parity, pages: 'body', fontFamily: LABEL, fontSize: pt(size), fontWeight: 700,
  letterSpacing: pt(1.3), textTransform: 'uppercase', color: col('ink'), ...extra, placement: {
    anchor: { to: 'page', edge }, offset: { x: mm(x), y: mm(HEAD - above(size)) } } });
const folio = { fontFamily: TEXT, fontWeight: 400, letterSpacing: pt(0) };
const heads = (recto) => ({ elements: [
  head('verso-folio', '{pageNumber}', 'even', 'top-left', OUTER, 9.5, folio),
  head('verso', '{title}', 'even', 'top-left', OUTER + GAP),
  head('recto', recto, 'odd', 'top-right', -(OUTER + GAP)),
  head('recto-folio', '{pageNumber}', 'odd', 'top-right', -OUTER, 9.5, folio),
  // The header's container spans the text block, so one rule serves both pages.
  { kind: 'rule', id: 'hairline', pages: 'body', direction: 'horizontal', thickness: pt(0.5),
    color: col('rule'), placement: { anchor: { to: 'container', edge: 'top-left' },
      offset: { y: mm(HEAD + 2) }, size: { width: 'fill' } } },
] });
const chapterHeads = heads('Chapter {chapterNumber}. {chapterTitle}');
const sectionHeads = heads('{chapterTitle}'); // 'Glossary', 'References', 'Index'
// Openers drop the folio to the foot, centred under the text block, its baseline 12 mm below.
const footer = { elements: [{ kind: 'text', id: 'drop-folio', content: '{pageNumber}',
  pages: 'opener', ...folio, fontSize: pt(9.5), color: col('ink'), align: 'center',
  placement: { anchor: { to: 'container', edge: 'top' }, offset: { y: mm(12 - above(9.5)) } } }] };

Les quatre éléments texte sont ancrés à la page et filtrés par parity, ce qui garde le folio sur le bord extérieur des deux pages ; chacun est placé par son haut, above() au-dessus d’une ligne de base à 17,5 mm sous le bord du format, si bien que le folio de 9,5 pt et les capitales de 7,5 pt reposent sur une même ligne. Le verso porte le titre de la thèse ({title}, tiré du frontmatter) et le recto celui de la section ({chapterTitle}), comme INDEX en page 177. pages: 'body' les écarte des ouvertures, dont le seul folio est celui du pied de page, centré sous le bloc de texte. Le recto du chapitre afficherait Chapter 6. Conclusion et celui de l’annexe Appendix A. Interview guide, mais dans cet exemple seul l’index court jusqu’à un recto.

#5 · Marquer les termes là où le texte en parle

script.js · lignes 119–125dans le code complet
// Glossary definitions carry 'main' (bold numbers); runs of pages join as 171–72 (Chicago).
// The heads stand on the entries' 11.6 pt pitch, 7.5 pt of space above them: 19 pt from the
// last entry of a letter to the next letter's baseline, 11.6 pt from a letter to its first entry.
const index = { fontFamily: TEXT, fontSize: pt(9), lineHeight: pt(11.6), color: col('ink'),
  indent: em(1), turnoverIndent: em(2), rangeFormat: 'chicago',
  groups: { fontFamily: DISPLAY, fontSize: pt(13), fontWeight: 400, color: col('ink'),
    marginTop: pt(7.5) } };

:index[tablet] imprime son mot et le classe sous ce même mot ; Rayner:index{term="Rayner, Keith"} n’imprime rien et classe la page de Rayner sous le nom complet ; term="interviews!timing of" crée une sous-entrée. Les termes du glossaire portent main : leur page est donc composée en gras, comme le dit la note dans la bande de l’index. :::index sous # Index {style="index"} imprime les entrées dans les deux colonnes du style, et buildDocument remet le document en page jusqu’à ce que les numéros de page ne bougent plus. Les entrées sont en 9 sur 11,6 pt, avec des lignes suivantes suspendues de 2 em et des sous-entrées en retrait de 1 em ; les lettres sont en 13 pt dans le caractère de titrage. Les marques ne fonctionnent pas dans les cellules de tableau : les rangs du tableau 6.1 n’ajoutent donc aucune page, et look-backs renvoie au paragraphe qui en parle, pas au tableau.

#6 · Garder tous les réglages par défaut à l’encre

script.js · lignes 15–19dans le code complet
const palette = { ink: '#000000', band: '#000000', rule: '#000000', paper: '#ffffff' };
const col = (id) => ({ hex: palette[id], model: 'hex', paletteId: id });
// Bold, italic and list markers default to 'main-color': pointed at the ink, they print black.
const colorPalette = Object.entries({ ...palette, 'main-color': palette.ink })
  .map(([id, hex]) => ({ id, name: id, value: { hex, model: 'hex' } }));

Les couleurs par défaut du moteur pour le gras, l’italique, les marqueurs de liste et les renvois suivent l’entrée de palette main-color : la faire pointer vers l’encre les imprime en noir au lieu du bleu (palette de couleurs). referenceBold: false compose Table 6.1 en romain, comme les citations auteur–date qui l’entourent.

Chapters 3 to 5 reported a within-subjects:index{term="within-subjects design"} experiment with forty-eight :index[undergraduates] and :index[interviews] with sixteen of them, combined in the :index[convergent design] described by Creswell:index{term="Creswell, John W."} and Plano Clark:index{term="Plano Clark, Vicki L."} (2018). This chapter brings the two strands together and sets out what they mean for :index[teaching] and for the :index[design of reading software]. ## What the study found :ref{id="findings" style="full"} summarises the results.:index{term="comprehension"} On :index[literal]{term="comprehension!literal"} questions, answerable from a single sentence, the medium made no difference. On :index[inferential]{term="comprehension!inferential"} questions, which required connecting ideas across paragraphs, paper readers scored higher. The difference points the same way as the :index[meta-analyses] of Delgado:index{term="Delgado, Pablo"} et al. (2018) and Clinton:index{term="Clinton, Virginia"} (2019), which found the :index[paper advantage] in :index[expository]{term="expository text"} rather than :index[narrative]{term="narrative text"} texts. Calibration:index{term="calibration"} showed the larger difference. Screen readers:index{term="calibration!on screen"} predicted:index{term="confidence!judgements of"} higher scores than paper readers and obtained lower ones, so the gap between :index[confidence] and :index[accuracy]:index{term="calibration!bias in"} was nearly three times as wide. The result repeats the :index[overconfidence] that Ackerman:index{term="Ackerman, Rakefet"} and Goldsmith:index{term="Goldsmith, Morris"} (2011) found in students who read on screen and set their own study time.:index{term="self-regulated study"} Such readers stop once they judge a text understood, so overconfidence cuts their study short. Paper readers also turned back:index{term="look-backs"} almost twice as often as screen readers scrolled back:index{term="scrolling"}, most often just before an inferential question.:index{term="comprehension!inferential"} In the interviews:index{term="interviews"}, eleven of the sixteen :index[participants] remembered:index{term="memory"} where on a page:index{term="spatial memory"} an idea had been (“top left, next to the diagram”), and three gave up looking for a passage on the :index[tablet] because “it could have been anywhere”. Liu:index{term="Liu, Ziming"} (2005) described a drift towards :index[browsing] and :index[keyword spotting] on screen; these readers went through the whole text but had fewer :index[landmarks] to return to. ## Implications for teaching and design For short texts and factual questions, screens serve as well as paper.:index{term="teaching"} For long expository:index{term="expository text"} texts that students must understand:index{term="comprehension"} rather than search, paper remains the safer choice.:index{term="paper advantage"} Where it is not available, students should test their understanding instead of trusting their sense of it: in the :index[pilot sessions], a short :index[self-test] after reading halved the overconfidence:index{term="overconfidence"} on screen.:index{term="calibration!on screen"} Readers also used the fixed position of text on a page as a map,:index{term="landmarks"} one of the uses of paper that Sellen:index{term="Sellen, Abigail J."} and Harper:index{term="Harper, Richard H. R."} (2002) observed in offices.:index{term="offices, paper in"} Reading applications:index{term="design of reading software"} that keep a stable page and show the reader’s place in the whole text may restore some of that map. ## Limitations and further work The participants:index{term="participants"} were students at one university:index{term="university, single"} who read English fluently,:index{term="limitations"} and the medium matters more for some readers, texts and tasks than it does for others (Singer:index{term="Singer, Lauren M."} & Alexander:index{term="Alexander, Patricia A."}, 2017). The texts were expository and about 1,800 words long,:index{term="texts, length of"} and the screen condition used a single tablet.:index{term="tablet"} A :index[replication] with a larger sample, several devices and the eye-movement:index{term="eye movements"} recording reviewed by Rayner:index{term="Rayner, Keith"} (1998) would show where on the page the two media part company. Huey:index{term="Huey, Edmund Burke"} (1908) thought that a complete analysis of what we do when we read would be almost the acme of a psychologist’s achievements. The experiments reported here add a small part to that analysis; the replication proposed above could measure how far readers rely on the position of a passage on the page when they look back. # Interview guide {style="appendix" startAt=1} The interviews:index{term="interviews"} took place within a week of each participant’s:index{term="participants"} second session. They were audio-recorded,:index{term="interviews!recording of"} transcribed:index{term="transcription"} in full and analysed thematically:index{term="thematic analysis"} following Braun:index{term="Braun, Virginia"} and Clarke:index{term="Clarke, Victoria"} (2006); :ref{id="session-plan" style="full"} gives their timing:index{term="interviews!timing of"}: a free recall:index{term="recall"} of the two study texts, the questions below and a short debriefing.:index{term="debriefing"} The questions were asked in this order,:index{term="interviews!questions asked"} and a prompt:index{term="interviews!prompts in"} only when the participant had not already covered its point. 1. Tell me about the last long text:index{term="texts, length of"} you read for a course.:index{term="courses, reading for"} - Where did you read it, and on paper or on a screen? 2. Which of the texts in this study do you remember:index{term="memory"} best, and why? 3. When you wanted to check an earlier passage, what did you do?:index{term="look-backs"} - How did you know where to look? 4. How sure were you of your answers?:index{term="confidence"} What made you more or less sure? 5. Did reading on the tablet:index{term="tablet"} feel different from reading on paper? 6. Some students say they read more carefully on paper. Do you? 7. What would the ideal way to read a long text for study be like?:index{term="design of reading software"} # Glossary {style="glossary" note="Words in italics are defined under entries of their own."} :::paragraphs{style="term"} **calibration**:index{term="calibration" main} The agreement between a reader’s confidence in having understood a text and the accuracy of that understanding, measured here as the difference between predicted and actual scores. **comprehension, inferential**:index{term="comprehension!inferential" main} Understanding that requires the reader to connect information from different parts of a text or to add knowledge the text does not state. **comprehension, literal**:index{term="comprehension!literal" main} Understanding of what a single sentence or passage states directly. **confidence judgement**:index{term="confidence!judgements of" main} A reader’s estimate, made after reading and before seeing the questions, of how many answers will be correct. **convergent design**:index{term="convergent design" main} A mixed-methods design in which quantitative and qualitative data are collected in the same period, analysed separately and then compared. **expository text**:index{term="expository text" main} A text written to explain or inform, such as a textbook chapter or a report, as opposed to a narrative text. **fixation**:index{term="fixation" main} A pause of the eyes, typically about a quarter of a second, during which the reader takes in text; fixations alternate with *saccades*. **look-back**:index{term="look-backs" main} Any return to an earlier part of a text during reading: turning back a page, scrolling up or following a link to a previous section. **metacomprehension**:index{term="metacomprehension" main} A reader’s knowledge and monitoring of their own understanding of a text; *calibration* is one of its measures. **navigation**:index{term="navigation" main} The movements a reader makes through a text as a whole, as distinct from the movements of the eyes along a line. **overconfidence**:index{term="overconfidence" main} Positive *calibration* bias: predicting a higher score than the one actually obtained. **saccade**:index{term="saccade" main} A rapid movement of the eyes from one *fixation* to the next, during which little or no text is taken in. **screen inferiority effect**:index{term="screen inferiority effect" main} The finding that comprehension of the same text is lower on screen than on paper, most consistently for *expository texts* read under time pressure. **self-regulated study**:index{term="self-regulated study" main} Reading in which the reader, not the experimenter, decides how long to spend on a text. **spatial memory for text**:index{term="spatial memory" main} Memory of where on a page or in a document a piece of information appeared, used as a cue for *look-backs*. **thematic analysis**:index{term="thematic analysis" main} A method for identifying, analysing and reporting patterns of meaning across qualitative data such as interview transcripts. **within-subjects design**:index{term="within-subjects design" main} An experimental design in which every participant takes part in every condition, here reading on both paper and screen. ::: # References {style="references" note="Every work cited in the thesis, set in APA style (7th edition)."} :::paragraphs{style="reference"} Ackerman, R., & Goldsmith, M.

#Commencer chaque section sur un recto

Les thèses reliées pour une bibliothèque ouvrent souvent chaque section sur une page de droite. Le glossaire, les références et l’index passent alors en pages 175, 177 et 179, chacun après un verso blanc, et les numéros en gras de l’index renvoient à la page 175.

-const backMatter = (id, extra) => ({ id, numbered: false, breakBefore: { enabled: true,
-  parity: 'any' }, advancedDesign: opener('Back matter'), header: sectionHeads, ...extra });
+const backMatter = (id, extra) => ({ id, numbered: false, breakBefore: { enabled: true,
+  parity: 'odd' }, advancedDesign: opener('Back matter'), header: sectionHeads, ...extra });

#Composer aussi le début de la thèse

Les pages liminaires, numérotées en chiffres romains avant la page 1, sont dans Pages liminaires en chiffres romains, puis la page 1.

Erreurs fréquentes

Erreur fréquente

Un style de titre hérite du saut de page de son niveau

Une entrée headingStyles reprend de son niveau de titre chaque champ qu’elle omet, breakBefore compris. Une page de table des matières ou un colophon mis en forme sur un H1 après un :::pagebreak hérite de la parité 'odd' et atterrit derrière une page blanche. Donnez à un tel style breakBefore: { enabled: false }. Styles de titre →

Erreur fréquente

La page 1 est un recto : planifiez les pages avec les numéros physiques

La page 1 est une page de droite et la page 2 le premier verso : planifiez donc les doubles pages avec les numéros de page physiques. Une ouverture sur une page paire fait face à la page impaire qui la suit. Sauts de page et de colonne →
