Loading templates without corrupting boilerplate
QPSG templates already carry the authority line, claim block, and placeholders. Corruption usually happens after the load: a Word paste on top of the catalog, a deleted divine-law sentence, or Accept-all on a draft that was never loaded from the sidebar.
Not legal advice. Language tool only. The catalog is a starting form. Captions, local rules, and what you file remain your responsibility.
What usually goes wrong
- Select without load — the dropdown changes, Input still holds the last draft. Click LOAD-TEMPLATE.
- Paste over the catalog — Word or PDF text collapses line breaks and can duplicate
THEorISon the authority line. - Delete the divine-law line — every catalog template includes
WITH THE AUTHORITY OF THE DIVINE-LAW IS WITH THE SUPREME-AUTHORITY. Leave it. - Rewrite instead of fill — change
[YOUR-FULL-NAME]and dates. Do not restyle the FOR / IS / WITH blocks by hand.
Before (typical paste over a template)
WITH THE AUTHORITY OF THE DIVINE-LAW IS WITH THE SUPREME-AUTHORITY THE IS IS WITH THE FACTS. The undersigned will file this notice.
After (loaded catalog, then fill brackets)
WITH THE AUTHORITY OF THE DIVINE-LAW IS WITH THE SUPREME-AUTHORITY. :FOR THE NOTICE IS BY [YOUR-FULL-NAME]: FOR THE DEMAND IS WITH THE FACTS.
What the status panel means
After LOAD-TEMPLATE, Analysis results shows a template panel:
- UP TO DATE — the catalog matches current processor rules. Fill brackets, then ANALYZE.
- NEEDS RULE UPDATE — current rules would change the catalog text. Use APPLY NORMALIZED TEMPLATE if you want the rule-corrected version (line breaks stay). Then review Diff.
- Input edited since load — your typing is kept. Catalog status is separate from your edits.
The panel also lists what the template contains (divine-law line, FOR-claim, sealed ~1~ facts, name placeholders).
How to run it
- Open the processor. Pick a category in the sidebar (will, trust, court, notice).
- Select a template, then click LOAD-TEMPLATE.
- Read the template status panel. If it says NEEDS RULE UPDATE and you have not edited Input, apply the normalized catalog.
- Replace
[BRACKETS]only. Leave the divine-law line and FOR / IS / WITH frame. - ANALYZE → PREVIEW-CORRECTIONS. Subscribe to Accept-all and Copy.
