Re: [docbook] duplicate dcterms:date

docbook message

Hi Peter,

I recently came across this problem when I used both pubdate and copyright/year. Here's what Bob Stayton had to say:

"Currently date and copyright/year are mutually exclusive for the date

metadata, so if you change your pubdate element to a date element in the info, then it will output a single date in the opf."

Search the list for "pubdate" and you'll find the complete discussion.

Hope that works for you.

Hi all,

I'm getting duplicate dcterms:date in the epub3 package.opf

<meta property="dcterms:date">2012</meta>
<dc:date>2012</dc:date>
<meta property="dcterms:date">2012</meta>
<dc:date>2012</dc:date>

The validator at http://validator.idpf.org/ gives me this.

ERROR OEBPS/package.opf 20 14 element "dc:date" not allowed here; expected the element end-tag or element "dc:contributor", "dc:coverage", "dc:creator", "dc:description", "dc:format", "dc:identifier", "dc:language", "dc:publisher", "dc:relation", "dc:rights", "dc:source", "dc:subject", "dc:title", "dc:type", "link" or "meta"

I'm just wondering if anyone else is getting this or if it is a bug in my stylesheet.
I'm using docbook-xsl-ns-1.78.1 stylesheets.

Thanks,

Peter
