Thank you for the assistance, Hussein.
Can you also help clarify the command line syntax for frontmatter? I have
read through and tried to interpret the command and examples in Chapter 3
of the DITA Converter documentation -
https://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/commandLine.html#commandLine
The client has a bookmap with a frontmatter section that does not
publish, containing two topics. I cannot seem to find the correct command
line instructions to generate the <frontmatter> topics in HTML.
The (Windows) command line below produces the table of contents and a list
of figures. But when I add the -frontmatter option, no syntax variation I
try seems to work.
bin\ditac.bat -r resources -frontmatter toc,figurelist -addindex -plugin
BRP -format html -p xsl-resources-directory res
out\XYZ_Plugin\XYZSampleMap\index.html
X0000447154_copy\BRX0000447154.ditamap
Thank you for your help.

The map is constructed:
<booktitle class="- topic/title bookmap/booktitle ">
<mainbooktitle class="- topic/ph bookmap/mainbooktitle ">Model PRO
130
</mainbooktitle>
</booktitle>
