Re: Ways to store CSS-accessible book metadata besides <bookmeta>?

Please read here:
post55679.html#p55679

The idea is to add to the metadata section of the bookmap data elements that expand the needed keys. We are not pushing all the defined keys in the merged map because there are cases of large key pools (thousands).

Re: Is it possible to access map variables from Customization CSS?

The main condition is to have this key referenced from the content (either topic or map). If you do not have it referenced, you may force a reference by using the topicmeta or bookmeta section of your map and a data element. This has no effect on the published content, but allows the CSS rules to us...

Re: How to modify the pdf properties using CSS Customization

Re: Is it possible to access map variables from Customization CSS?

If this simplifies the work for your writers, I think you should go on with this CSS+XPath approach. However, if you plan to publish this to other formats, like WebHelp or plain HTML, you will not benefit of this customization, so please take care.
Many regards,

Re: How to show <othermeta> in PDF transformations?

To forward all the othermeta elements information to the document properties, you can use a this CSS rule:

Code: Select all

The margins of the first block in the page are now discarded. This is desirable, to make the sections titles align properly in the page when they are at the beginning.
