Demo highlights editor features: templates, code insertion and long-title automation
Summary
Presenters demonstrated an editor with code-insertion (exact search and tree), a "new law" button to scaffold sections, and automated long-title generation to compile section-based summaries for bills. Users asked for faster bulk code import.
The demo showed an editor built to resemble a word processor with custom authoring features tuned for legislative drafting. The presenter demonstrated how to insert code sections using either an exact search or a full tree; selected code auto-populates preamble text and tracks the source code reference. "It'll auto populate your preamble text," the presenter noted while inserting source law into a draft.
Presenters also demonstrated a "new law" button that scaffolds a new section number and prefilled text to speed drafting, and a long-title generator that pulls added sections into a single long-title attribute. Several attendees requested quicker bulk import for multiple code sections (for example, comma-separated lists or range selection) instead of adding sections one at a time.
