Info Elements for Covers
There are many useful elements that you can add inside a publication topic, including copyright, author, and pubdate. They are mostly designed for providing information about a document and we call them the "info
elements" as you can only add them inside an info element.
When you publish, the "info elements" can be displayed on the front cover, the reverse side of the front cover, or potentially, on the "front matter" pages that immediately follow the cover.
To see what "info elements" are available:
-
Find your publication in the Content Manager and then select its dotted menu ( ... ). Choose Edit and then Open in editor.
-
In the editor, click on a position that is inside the
infoelement but not inside any other element. In the Element Structure Menu at the top, you should seearticleandinfo.
-
Press Alt + Enter ⏎ (Windows) or Command ⌘ + Enter ⏎ (Mac) to display the Element Context Menu.
-
Choose an "info element" to add to the publication topic. The Element Context Menu displays a list of all the "info elements" that you can use at the currently selected position.
To find out about the purpose of each "info element", see the official Docbook documentation.
