Omni Systems, Inc. Mif2Go User's Guide, Version 55
> 16 Configuring DITA maps > 16.3 Constructing a DITA bookmap > 16.3.3 Specifying <bookmeta> information
You must provide valid XML content for the <bookmeta>
element. Most of the information cannot be derived from your FrameMaker
document. An annotated template for the <bookmeta>
element, bookmeta.xml
, is available in your
Mif2Go distribution directory; the contents of this
template are listed in §E DITA
<bookmeta> template.
An easy way to supply <bookmeta>
content is to do the following:
1. Copy
bookmeta.xml
from your Mif2Go distribution directory to the project directory
for your DITA project (or to another directory), and optionally rename
the copy.
2. Delete from the copy elements you do not need; also delete any non-XML text.
3. Substitute appropriate values for the elements you do need, following XML rules.
4. Optionally validate the XML against the DITA version 1.1 standard.
5. Copy the entire content into your project configuration file as a macro section, or reference the template copy as a macro file.
To specify the location of your <bookmeta>
information:
; BookMeta = DITA content, can be macro file or [section]
BookMeta = <$.\mymetadata.xml>
If you do not include a setting for BookMeta
,
the <bookmeta>
element is omitted from
output.
You can reference <bookmeta>
content in either of the following ways:
BookMeta = <$.\path\to\bookmeta.xml>
BookMeta = <$BookmetaElements>
See §28.1 Defining and invoking macros.
