Topicmeta

The <topicmeta> element defines the metadata that applies to a topic when it appears in a map, and to the other topics in the map that are contained by the same element that contains the <topicmeta>

element. When creating links, it can also be used to override the title and short description of the topic. In addition, it can be used to add index entries to referenced content using the <keywords> element.

[edit] Example

In this example, the metadata defined by the topicmeta element applies to the associated <topicref> (bats.dita) and all of its children. The <topicmeta> element contains an audience definition which indicates that bats.dita and its children are of interest to experienced programmers who are troubleshooting.

<map>

 <topicref href="bats.dita">
  <topicmeta>
   <audience type="programmer" job="troubleshooting" experiencelevel="expert"/>
  </topicmeta>
  <topicref href="batcaring.dita"></topicref>
  <topicref href="batfeeding.dita"></topciref>

 </topicref>
</map>
