Subject: RE: [dita] bookmap specialization question


Thanks, Erik.

 

I guess I don’t understand that difference between specifying an element for generating a cover or preface v. a preface, which the bookmap specification does provide.

 

Thanks, A

Salutations, Amber:

I think the expectation is that the book information provides everything needed to generate cover and title pages and that, like all presentation, the specification of the layout of the cover pages should be separate from the content of the book.

A question is whether there might be easy ways for adopters to define that layout -- but that question could be investigated separately without slowing down the completion of bookmap.


Hoping that's interesting,

[dita] bookmap specialization question

 


Hi there,

In reviewing the bookmap specialization, I realized that it contains elements for many of the common pieces of a book, but is missing elements for cover and title page. Is there a reason for this? I expected there to be elements so that you can specify a <topicref> for these items. Is it too late to add them?

Thanks, A
