Select the "title" of the "article" and use Edit|Replace to replace it by "articleinfo". By default, a new "articleinfo" contains useless "date". In this "articleinfo", add "title", "pubdate", "author", etc, child elements using Edit|Insert Before and/or Edit|Insert After. Once you have done that, get rid of useless "date" child element. Select it and use Edit|Delete. All this can be *automated* by replacing default, "title"-based, article template (XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook/template/article.xml) by an "articleinfo"-based one. If you are writing "book"s instead of "article"s, do the same with "bookinfo" instead of "articleinfo". See attachments. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
