Insert Metadata Dialog Box
The Insert Metadata dialog box displays when you select > > in the Generated Text Editor for an element. It allows you to enter metadata types and their associated values in the generated text of a specific element. The metadata information is then passed to the output document when the source document is published to PDF or HTML formats:
• PDF: one set of metadata for the whole PDF document is permitted, which will be displayed in the Document Properties dialog box for the PDF document. You can view metadata items Title, Author, Subject, and Keywords in the Description tab, whilst all other items will be retained in the Custom tab.
• HTML: a set of metadata for each HTML chunk is permitted, and will be visible when accessing the source of the HTML chunk.
The Insert Metadata dialog box contains the following controls:
• Static: choose from a list of standard metadata types or type in one of your choice. Once you have made your selection here and closed the dialog box by clicking OK, the Generated Text Editor contains two tags: MetaName and MetaValue. The MetaName tag contains the name of the metadata type you entered in the Static field, while the MetaValue field is blank. Type the required value for the metadata item in this field, or use the menu items from the Insert menu in the Generated Text Editor to generate the metadata value.
• Dynamic: choose this option to advise that you wish to generate the name of the metadata type dynamically. Once you have made your selection here and closed the dialog box by clicking OK, the Generated Text Editor contains two empty tags, MetaName and MetaValue. In both fields you may either enter the required information manually, or use the menu items from the Insert menu in the Generated Text Editor to generate the required value for the metadata type and its associated value.
