DESCRIPTION

The <SET_PAGE_SECURITY> tag specifies that a security classification be applied to a page to override the default security classification. Keywords defined using <SET_SECURITY_CLASS> are valid as keywords for the <SET_PAGE_SECURITY> and <SECURITY> tags.

Example

In the following example, the <SET_PAGE_SECURITY> tag specifies that the current page is to be assigned the UNCLASSIFIED classification, overriding the highest default classification (SECRET) for that page. 

<SECURITY>(TOP_SECRET) 
<HEAD1>(Installing the MKXX-5 circuit\installing_mkxx_5) 
<P>Installation of the MKXX-5 circuit requires 24 steps and the following tools: 
<list>(unnumbered) 
<le> screwdriver 
<le> voltmeter 
<endlist> 
<ENDSECURITY> 
<SECURITY>(SECRET) 
<HEAD2>(Beginning the installation\begin_install) 
<p>Begin the installation by removing the MKXX-5 circuit from the 
shipping materials. 
<SET_PAGE_SECURITY>(UNCLASSIFIED)

<SET_SECURITY_CLASS>

Establishes a new security classification or overrides the default text associated with an existing classification.

Syntax

<SET_SECURITY_CLASS > (classification keyword\id text\classification text\priority)

ARGUMENTS

classification keyword

Specifies the keyword to be specified to the <SECURITY> tag to generate the new or modified id text, classification text, or priority. An example might be the keyword TOP_SECRET. User-created keywords may also be used.

id text

Specifies the character string that will be placed in text and heading numbers and figure, example, and table captions, when the security classification outputs. An example might be the text TS for a top secret security classification. User-created text strings may also be used.

classification text

Specifies the text that appears at the top and bottom of the page when the security classifications output. An example would be the text TOP SECRET for a top secret security classification. Other user-created text strings may also be used.

priority

Specifies the numeric priority assigned to the classification, where priority must be an integer in the range 1 to 6, where 6 indicates the highest priority. The following table shows the priorities assigned to the default security classifications:
Class Priority
TOP_SECRET 4
SECRET 3
CONFIDENTIAL 2
UNCLASSIFIED 1
Priorities 5 and 6 are unassigned by default.

DESCRIPTION

The <SET_SECURITY_CLASS> tag establishes a new security classification or overrides the default text associated with an existing classification. Use the tag to do the following:

The <SET_SECURITY_CLASS> tag requires all four arguments. If you do not want to specify an argument, leave it blank as a null argument.

The <SET_SECURITY_CLASS> tag establishes keywords and text strings to be output on a page for the <SECURITY>, <HIGHEST_SECURITY_CLASS>, <SET_CONTENTS_SECURITY>, and <SET_PAGE_SECURITY> tags.

Example

In the following example, the <SET_SECURITY_CLASS> tag modifies the id text associated with the keyword CONFIDENTIAL. When you specify a subsequent <SECURITY>(CONFIDENTIAL) tag, no id text is placed in text or headings, since that argument was omitted when you specified the <SET_SECURITY_CLASS> tag. The running header and footer lines will carry the classification text, WIDGET Company Confidential. The CONFIDENTIAL keyword has the default priority of 2, as specified in the final argument to the <SET_SECURITY_CLASS> tag. 

<SET_SECURITY_CLASS>(CONFIDENTIAL\\WIDGET Company Confidential\2)

<SIGNATURE_LINE>

Creates up to two rules on a line and places a name below each rule; each rule serves as a signatory line for the person listed below it.

Syntax

<SIGNATURE_LINE> ([name-1][\name-2])

ARGUMENTS

name-n

This is an optional argument. Specifies the name or title of the person who is to sign on the previous line. These names and lines output in two columns.

related tags

restrictions

Valid only in the context of a <SIGNATURE_LIST> tag.

DESCRIPTION

The <SIGNATURE_LINE> tag creates up to two rules on a line and places a name below each rule; each rule serves as a signatory line for the person listed below it. The tag creates signature lines within a signature list that has a 2-column format; if you omit a name in either column, no name (or rule) outputs in that column.

Example

The following example shows a signature list with two names in the first row of signatures, a single name in the left column of the second row, and a name in the right column of the third row. 

<TITLE_PAGE>

<SIGNATURE_LIST>

Syntax

<SIGNATURE_LIST> (col heading-1\col heading-2)

ARGUMENTS

col heading-n

Specifies the heading for the column of signatures. These headings are required.

restrictions

Valid only in the context of a global <TITLE_PAGE> tag.

DESCRIPTION

The <SIGNATURE_LIST> tag begins a 2-column listing of signature lines on the title page of a document and supplies headings for each of those columns. Each argument places a heading over one of the signature line columns. This tag enables the <SIGNATURE_LINE> tag to specify each signature line and the name associated with it. You can use as many <SIGNATURE_LINE> tags as you want in the context of the <SIGNATURE_LIST> tag.

code id number

Specifies the identification code number for this document. This number formats as the second line in a block of lines in the upper right of the title page.

specification date

Specifies a date for the document. This value can be specified as a text string (for example, 31 October 1986), or it can be specified using the global <DATE> tag, which produces the date at the time the file processes.

This date formats as the third line in a block of lines in the upper right of the title page; it also carries as the bottom line in a 2-line running heading throughout the document.

The running title established by the specification date argument can be overridden in the MILSPEC.SECURITY and MILSPEC.DRAFT doctypes by the running title created by the <RUNNING_TITLE> tag.

additional info

This is an optional tag. Specifies additional information about the document, for example, Part 1 of 3 parts.

This information formats as the fourth line in a block of lines in the upper right of the title page.
