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 THE or IS on 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

  1. Open the processor. Pick a category in the sidebar (will, trust, court, notice).
  2. Select a template, then click LOAD-TEMPLATE.
  3. Read the template status panel. If it says NEEDS RULE UPDATE and you have not edited Input, apply the normalized catalog.
  4. Replace [BRACKETS] only. Leave the divine-law line and FOR / IS / WITH frame.
  5. ANALYZE → PREVIEW-CORRECTIONS. Subscribe to Accept-all and Copy.
