Re: Setting document metadata

Hi Tanya,
             The document metadata is defined at the document level in
the class:

src/textptbl/xp/pd_Document.cpp:setMetaDataProp( const std::string & key,
                                                                        const std::string & value )

You can set arbitrary key/value pairs so adding additional metadata
properties is no problem at all.

Currently abiword has an UI to edit, import and export the following
document metadata properties:

Title
Subject
Author
Publisher
CoAuthor
Category
Keywords
Languages
Description
Source
Relation
Coverage
Rights

As defined in src/wp/ap/xp/ap_Dialog_MetaData.h

You should also look to expand our UI to display and edit these new
metadata attributes if you implement them.

Cheers

Martin
