EPUB metadata interface for DITA maps?

Post by davegibbons »

I don't see any way in the DITA Maps Manager to set up the topicmeta element. The EPUBs I'm working on use headers like this in each DITA map:

<topicmeta>
<author>Company</author>
<publisher>Company</publisher>
<copyright>
<copyryear year="2012"/>
<copyrholder>Company</copyrholder>
</copyright>
<data name="covergraphic">cover.png</data>
</topicmeta>

I can get to these elements and attributes if I open the map in the XML editor, but I don't know how to do it in the DITA Maps Manager.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Dave,

The DITA Maps Manager is a simplified view of the map and indeed it does not offer a way to set the topic meta to topic references.
But you can open the DITA Map in the main editing area by double clicking the root of the DITA Map tree.
Then you can switch to the Text page and perform your modifications there.
