Thanks for that. I understand about limiting support to paying customers, but I had hoped this was a forum for general ditac users, and that there might be others in the community, not connected to XMLmind, who might be sharing advice and information.

This is nevertheless the correct approach. Alternate approach: hand-write in XSL-FO a custom title page containing the information you need. See http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/webhelp/xsltParams.html#xsltParams__title-page > The only thing > that worked was to copy the bookmeta from the ditac bookmap manual > source and modify the fields with our company contacts, but event hat > seems to have gone lopsided and it is not all the information we need to > get out there. > > Also, is there any way to get copyright information into the Webhelp > rendering? > Unfortunately you also need to customize the XSLT stylesheets that generate HTML pages for the Web Help to automate this. Alternate approach: hand-write in XHTML a custom title page containing the information you need. See http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/webhelp/xsltParams.html#xsltParams__title-page Alternate approach #2: add a custom, hand-written in XHTML, header to your Web Help containing the information you need.
