Publication Topics for Subpublications

Every publication in Paligo has a Publication Topic that acts as a container for the front page. It is usually set up to include an image for the front cover, details about the author, copyright information and similar content, see Supported Info Elements. This also applies to subpublications, which are publications reused as sections inside a parent publication.

In the image shown below, there is the main publication named "ACME Smart Home" and it contains a mixture of topics and subpublications. Each publication and subpublication has its own "publication topic".

  • For PDF outputs, Paligo only includes a publication topic for the top-level publication (the main publication). It excludes the publication topics for any subpublications so that the "front matter" only exists at the start of the PDF file.

  • For HTML outputs, you can choose whether the output includes publication topics for both the top-level publication and the subpublications OR only for the top-level publication.
