Note
In this article, we use the term "info elements" to refer to all elements possible to insert inside an info element. These include copyright, edition, volumenum, author, and abstract, see Supported Info Elements.
By default, Paligo only includes some info elements in your Publication Topic for HTML5 output.
If you need other info elements, you can add them as hidden content in a footer. You can then use your CSS to control whether they are visible and to style them. This is useful if there are specific info elements that you want to display, such as edition or volumenum.
If you choose to include the info elements, Paligo adds them inside <div class="info-elements"> in the footer-content div and they are set to be hidden by default.
Paligo creates a div for each info element and include a class name that matches the element name in Paligo XML. For example, the copyright element in Paligo XML becomes <div aria-hidden="true" class="copyright"> in the HTML. Paligo will also create <span> elements in the HTML, where appropriate.
Note
The info elements are limited to the title pages of the publication.
To be able to add the info elements on other pages, a customization will be needed. Please contact Paligo customer support.
To include info elements as hidden elements in the HTML5 output:
-
Select Layout in the top menu.
Paligo displays a list of Layouts. The list is empty if there are no custom Layouts in your Paligo instance.
-
Select the Layout you want to update or Create a Layout.
Tip
You can copy the URL of the Layout Editor and paste it into a new tab in your browser. This can be useful if you frequently switch between your Paligo content and the Layout settings.
-
Select General in the sidebar.
-
Set Output info elements to:
-
Enable - To set Paligo to include the
infoelements as hidden content in the HTML5. By default, it will include allinfoelements. -
Disable - To prevent Paligo from including the
infoelements in the HTML. -
Default to inherit the value for this setting from the base Layout. The base Layout is either a built-in Layout provided by Paligo or another custom Layout, see Layout Relationships - Base, New, Duplicate.
-
-
To exclude certain
infoelements, enter their names in the Output info elements filter field. This field is empty by default.Use a semi-colon to separate each
infoelement, for example:authorgroup;releaseinfo;
Paligo will exclude any info element that you have listed in the field.
-
Select Save.
When you publish with this Layout, Paligo will generate an HTML5 output that includes the info elements that you have selected.
You can then use CSS to display the info elements and to style them, see Browser Inspection Tool and Upload Customized CSS. You could also use JavaScript to manipulate them, see Upload Customized JavaScript.
Note
When using CSS or JavaScript with info elements, note that some pages in your HTML may include the elements in the main body as well as the footer. For example, copyright may be shown in the body as well as the footer. They will have the same class name, and so you may need to use more specific CSS selectors to tell the browser exactly which element to target.
