CHAPTER / TITLE ANALYSIS

Municode style for chapter/title analysis pages does not contain page numbers, as additional supplement charges would apply each time we supplement the Code to also update the page numbers on each chapter analysis page.

ORGANIZATION AND INDENTATION

Index
If you have a current index we will update and maintain it. If you do not have a current printed index would you like one created?
If possible, please obtain the original digital graphic files from your source (planner, developer, etc.). The preferred digital graphics file format would be high quality .TIF/.TIFF or .PNG at 300 dpi or more. For line drawings, file formats would be EPS, .AI, or CAD. Good quality images in .PDF format are also acceptable if none of the aforementioned files are available. Please DO NOT SCAN available hard copy images or use/send images from the internet! They will be of the lowest quality which will produce low-quality images within your print and online products.
Files must be less than 128 MB.
Allowed file types: gif jpg jpeg png bmp tif pict psd pdf bz2 dmg gz jar rar sit tar zip tiff ai cad.

Tables
Municode will create the following tables:

  • SUPPLEMENT HISTORY TABLE:  showing ordinance number, adoption date, and supplement in which legislation is included.
  • CODE COMPARATIVE TABLE:  showing ordinance number, adoption date, section of ordinance, and section of Code amended.

Running Heads
Running heads are headers that appear at the top of the front and back of each page of your code. The front of the page contains the chapter title and the back of the page contains the name of your code. For example, in chapter 2, Administration, all of the fronts of pages will have ADMINISTRATION at the top, and the backs of the pages will have the name of your code in capital letters (Ex.: “ATLANTA CITY CODE," ORANGE COUNTY CODE," etc.). Municode will need to utilize our running headers and footers. 

Please provide us with the names of your current officials for the Officials Page.
