16.4.2 Assigning frontmatter and backmatter roles and components

When filename=Front, follow Front with one of Lists (default), Notice, Dedication, Colophon, Abstract, Draftintro, or Preface. For example:

[DITABookmapFiles]

legalpage = Front Notice

When filename=Back, follow Back with one of Lists (default), Notice, Dedication, Colophon, or Amendment. For example:

[DITABookmapFiles]

endpage = Back Colophon

When filename=Front Lists or filename=Back Lists (or just Front or Back), follow Front, Back, or Lists with one of TOC (default for Front Lists), LOF, LOT, Abbr, Trademark, Biblio, Glossary, IX (default for Back Lists), or Booklist (used for other types of FrameMaker generated files such as LOM and IOM). For example:

[DITABookmapFiles]

mybookTOC = Front Lists TOC

mybookLOF = Front Lists LOF

keywords = Back Lists Booklist

mybookIX = Back Lists IX

Table 16-3 shows the roles each component can follow in frontmatter or backmatter.

Booklist components

TOC, and all components that have an element name that ends in list, are booklist items and must follow Lists, which should follow non-booklist items. Booklist items should be together, at one end or the other of Front or Back, preferably following any other items. However, you might have to put some booklist items before other items; for example, to get the glossary and index before the colophon:

[DITABookmapFiles]

endpage = Back Lists Glossary IX Colophon

If you omit Lists before a booklist item, or Front or Back before Lists, Mif2Go can usually figure out what is needed and interpolate the missing item. However, it is best to be explicit about which items belong where.
