Hello,
It is possible to have lots of metadata in DocBook and epub documents,
using specific markup. It is not possible to generate some (or most) of
this markup from Texinfo code, as the XML constructs (for DocBook) or
the way the metadata is specified (for epub) are quite specific.
These metadata should end up in a specific element in both cases, such
that it is not possible right now for a user to add raw output and have
it appear in the right element. For example
@documentinfo
@title Title
@ifnotdocbook
@author Terry Allen
@author Eve Maler
@author Norman Walsh
@end ifnotdocbook
@docbook
<authorgroup>
<author><firstname>Terry</firstname><surname>Allen</surname></author>
<author><firstname>Eve</firstname><surname>Maler</surname>
<affiliation><orgname>Arbortext, Inc.</orgname></affiliation>
</author>
<author><firstname>Norman</firstname><surname>Walsh</surname>
<affiliation><orgname>Arbortext, Inc.</orgname></affiliation>
</author>
</authorgroup>
@end docbook
@end documentinfo
I propose to have code not already handled especially appearing in
@documentinfo be placed in the elements where metadata appear in those
formats.
It is less relevant for HTML, but maybe the same could be done to add
to the header after the metadata <meta> elements we already output.
