- <p>This demonstration provides a proof-of-concept implementation of the DITA bookmap proposal. The proposal adds book output to DITA using a specialized DITA map known as a bookmap. The bookmap organizes the DITA topics with the correct nesting and sequence for the book. In addition, the bookmap assigns roles such as preface, chapter, and appendix to top-level topics within the book. </p>
- <p class="- topic/p ">For more detailed information about the proposal, see the detailed posting on the DITA forum at <xref href="news://news.software.ibm.com:119/c11fd3$85qq$2@news.boulder.ibm.com" format="news">news://news.software.ibm.com:119/c11fd3$85qq$2@news.boulder.ibm.com</xref>.</p>
- <note>This demonstration has the following limitations:<ul>
- <li>For XSL-FO formatting and thus PDF generation, only the basics have been implemented. Through specialization, the DITA XHTML-based outputs for DITA map are also available for bookmap.</li>
- <li>The design for the book info component of the proposal has been fleshed out based on antecedents in DocBook and IBMIDDoc (see the comments in the <codeph>bookinfo.mod</codeph> file). Most of the elements in bookinfo aren't processed.</li>
- <li>The book list component of the proposal hasn't been implemented yet. Possible designs for a glossary list have been discussed extensively on the DITA forum (resulting in the proposal posted as <xref href="news://news.software.ibm.com:119/3FA29F54.83AFB251@ca.ibm.com" format="news">news://news.software.ibm.com:119/blfg38$5k0q$1@news.boulder.ibm.com</xref>).</li>
- <li>The book style component of the proposal is much more experimental than the bookmap and bookinfo components. Processing for this component is limited.</li>
