Hi Hussein,

Thanks for rapid response. The problematic map I had, contained a slight bug
that I didn't notice earlier, @class for map's topicmeta was empty instead
of being '- map/topicmeta ' . Fixing that made both maps behave correctly.

You say that map/topicmeta does not propagate across nested topicrefs, I
have tested now with versions 2.5.1 and 2.5.6 (haven't yet downloaded the
latest), both propagate now  the map metadata correctly to topics. Did I
misunderstood something in your response ..;)

We have pretty complicated metadata model to control various things in the
application. One little issue has been to detect reliably whether we make
pdf from map or from single topic in Ditac. Could we use this metadata
reconcile ( 2 vs 1 prolog/metadata nodes in  .ditac ) to differentiate
between map pdf vs topic pdf. Or something from lists file?

BR,

Martti

Yes, ditac is supposed to implement:

2.1.2.3.6 Reconciling topic and map metadata

http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/archSpec/reconciling-topic-and-
map-metadata.html

You have found a bug which will be fixed in next release (planned in about
2-3 weeks).

Currently the metadata found in a topicmeta is copied to the prolog of the
topic but only when the corresponding topicref is a direct child of the map.
I mean it does not work for topicrefs nested into other topicrefs.

Sorry for this very stupid bug.
