Hello,

I would want to populate the book title page with ditamap metadata.

variables can be uses in such a scenario but it is not documented.

 

What I found so far:

Metadata                                    Variable name

author                                          Author

prodinfo/prodname                     BM_ProdName

prodinfo/vrmlist/vrm/@version  BM_Vrm1

 

Have you complementary information about this

 

Thanks in advance
Philippe

    After numerous emails with Adobe support, I finally got an answer that is supposedly applicable to FM2022:

    MetadataVariable 
    <map> <topicmeta> <author>Author
    <map> <topicmeta> <prodinfo> <prodname>BM_ProdName
    <map> <topicmeta> <prodinfo> <vrmlist> <vrm>BM_Vrm1
    <bookmap> <bookmeta> <bookid> <bookpartno>BM_BookPartN1
    <bookmap> <bookmeta> <bookid> < isbn >BM_ISBN
    <bookmap> <bookmeta> <bookid> <booknumber>BM_BookNumber
    <First child-- Can be any><title>Title
    <shortdesc>Subject
    <bookmap> <booktitle> <booklibrary>Book Library

    I have the same question. For example, other ditamap metadata that are part of <prodinfo> are <brand>, <component>, <featnum>, <platform>, <prognum> and <series>. Are they mapped to variable names?
