PMC uses a custom element in the bookmeta area (pmc_iso) to store its
ISO information, which is what I want to reproduce on the titlepage and
in the footers (yes, know the footers are going to be an issue). I have
the content reproducing on the title page, but my questions are as follows:
1.How do I make the title page the first link of TOC? At the moment is
just floats in the project, and if I didn’t go looking for it in the
directory of HTML produced by the ditac I’d never know it existed.
There is no real ``title page'' in XHTML-based formats like webhelp and
javahelp. You are in fact talking about what's generated before the
frontmatter topics. Let's call this: the ``title page'' chunk.
The ``title page'' chunk is not intended to be part of the TOC. So what
you want is not possible without modifying the XSLT stylesheets.
However it's possible to have frontmatter topics which immediately
follow the ``title page'' chunk and which will be output in the same
HTML page (preferably called "index.html") to be part of the TOC.
This can be achieved by a clever use of:
* chunk="to-content"
* copy-to="index.html"
* XSLT stylesheet parameter extended-toc=both (not sure this is
supported by the version of ditac which is included in XXE 5.4.1). See
http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/xsltParams.html#xsltParams__extended-toc
Actual example:
---
<frontmatter>
<booklists>
<toc chunk="to-content" copy-to="index.html"/>
...
</booklists>
<bookabstract chunk="to-content" href="introduction.dita"/>
</frontmatter>
---
which gives you:
* http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/webhelp/index.html
* http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/manual.jar
2.There is a persistent “Legal Notice” title on the titlepage that I
can’t seem to eradicate; I can find where it is sourced from in the
localization strings, but can’t see how it’s ending up on the title
page. I see nothing in the ditamap that should be triggering this. I
have found and modified the autoTitlePage template to draw in my ISO
information, but can’t figure out where the Legal Notice information
title is being called.
“Legal Notice” is the title which is automatically generated for a
referencing a notices topic (see
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/langref/notices.html). For
example a .ditamap containing something like this:
---
<frontmatter>
...
<notices href="notices.dita"/>
...
</frontmatter>
---
or like this:
---
<backmatter>
...
<notices href="notices.dita"/>
...
</backmatter>
