Know what are Bookmaps in FrameMaker and how it helps to organize and print DITA topics as books.
A bookmap is a specialized DITA map that allows you to organize and print your DITA topics as a book. A bookmap defines elements such as <chapter>
and <appendix>
. A DITA map does not impose structural rules with regards to the sequence of the topic references. However, to maintain a book structure, the bookmap defines rules such as disallowing a chapter element after the appendix element.
See the specifications on Bookmaps in the DITA Specification.
The FrameMaker user interface elements for a bookmap are identical to the elements for a DITA map. For example, by default, the bookmap opens in the Resource Manager.
Choose
.The <chapter>
, <part>
, <appendix>
, and <appendices>
elements are referenced elements.
To add these elements, follow the procedure used to Insert topicref elements in a DITA map.
You can include relationship tables in a bookmap.
