chance these will end up being sorted incorrectly, and if so you really have<br />

no choice but to insert an index entry entirely manually.<br />

This is a bit trickier. The basic pattern you will need is as follows:<br />

\index[〈index〉]{%<br />

〈index title〉%<br />

@\citeinindex {〈key〉}%<br />

!〈sorting for sub level〉@〈printing for first level〉%<br />

!〈sorting for second sub level〉@〈printing for second sub level〉}<br />

As to the parts:<br />

index title The title as used to sort the index, eg Human Rights<br />

Act 1998<br />

\citeinindex {} This will print the title, and any other details, correctly<br />

for the index. Please observe the space between<br />

the command name and the brackets, which matters<br />

to ensure proper sorting.<br />

sorting These are the keys for sorting the level. For instance,<br />

if you want to insert a reference to section 4A, and<br />

make sure it gets sorted before section 4, you might<br />

give the reference here as 3.<br />

printing This is what will get printed as the label at that ‘level’.<br />

So, for instance<br />

\index[statutes]{%<br />

Human Rights Act 1998%<br />

@\citeinindex {hra98}%<br />

!100@Sched 1%<br />

!1@para 1}<br />

would insert a reference to Human Rights Act 1998, Sched 1, para 1, which<br />

would appear ‘as if’ it were section 100 of the Act, i.e. after all the other<br />

sections.<br />

Cases<br />

Fields<br />

Cases should be entered into the bibliography database using the @jurisdiction<br />

entrytype. Use the following fields:<br />

title Mandatory. The full title of the case, as it should appear<br />

on first citation. Any periods (full stops) used in<br />

this field are stripped out automatically.<br />

shorttitle Optional. A shorter title of the case which will silently<br />

replace the full title on second and subsequent citations<br />

in any reference section. So, for instance, R v<br />

Cases 21<br />
