Variable Set
Select a variable set to override the default variable set in the generated output. See “User-defined
variables” on page 148.
Conditional Build Expression
If you have conditional tags in the project, click Define to specify conditional build
expressions. See “Conditional build tag expressions” on page 232.
Apply To All Topics
Select this option to apply master pages or CSS at the project level:
•
Master Page
The selected master page overrides the settings of all the individual topics with or without a master
page applied to them in the project. The CSS and layout of the master page override the CSS and appearance of all
the topics. If the selected master page does not have a header or footer, no topic displays a header or footer
irrespective of if it had one header or footer defined.
•
CSS
The master pages associated with individual topics become effective. The selected CSS overrides all the
topics and their CSS irrespective of whether they are associated with a master page or not.
See “Applying a master page or CSS at the time of generation” on page 118.
Exclude Unreferenced Topics From Output
Select this option to exclude any topic that exists in the project but is not
the default topic in the layout or is not referenced from the selected TOC, index, or browse sequence, or any
referenced topic.
Note: RoboHelp displays the unreferenced topics that are excluded from the output in the Output View pod.
Table Of Contents Settings
Select Index, Glossary, or both to add an index and a glossary at the end of the TOC. By
default, the index is placed before the glossary. Use the Up and Down buttons to reverse the order in which the index
and the glossary are to be placed.
4 In the Meta Information tab, specify metadata to conform to the Open Packaging Format (OPF) specification:
Title
A title for the output. By default, RoboHelp displays the project name.
Author(s)
(Optional) The name of the author. To specify multiple author names, use comma as the separator.
Publisher(s)
(Optional) The name of the entity responsible for making the output available, for example, the author
or the organization.
Rights
(Optional) A statement about rights, for example, a copyright notice.
Description
(Optional) A description of the content.
Publication Identifier
An identifier conforming to specifications such as ISBN.
Language
The language in which the content is written. For information about the format, see Dublin Core
Metadata Element Set.
Publish Date
(Optional) The date of publishing the output. Follow the format specified in Date and Time Formats.
Cover Image
(Optional) Specify the path for a JPG, JPEG, or PNG image that you want to use as the cover page of
the eBook and the dimensions (use percentage values to allow browsers to optimize display for different-sized
screens). You can also specify a GIF image. However, in the case of a GIF animation, only the first frame is used as
the cover page.
Note: If you don’t specify a cover image, RoboHelp uses the first topic in the TOC as the cover page.
5 In the Meta Information tab, click Custom Metadata and specify additional EPUB 3-specific metadata in XML
format. For more information on specifying Metadata for EPUB, refer to EPUB 3 specification for metadata.
For example, if you want to add the identifier type (ISBN, UUID, DOI, etc) for a Publication Identifier, you can use
the XML format below:
<dc:identifier id="pub-id">urn:doi:10.1016/j.iheduc.2008.03.001</dc:identifier>
