Re: [docbook] duplicate dcterms:date

Hi Peter,

I recently came across this problem when I used both pubdate and copyright/year. Here's what Bob Stayton had to say:

"Currently date and copyright/year are mutually exclusive for the date 
metadata, so if you change your pubdate element to a date element in the 
info, then it will output a single date in the opf."

Search the list for "pubdate" and you'll find the complete discussion.

Hope that works for you.

    Hi all,

    

    I'm getting duplicate dcterms:date in the epub3 package.opf

    

    <meta property="dcterms:date">2012</meta>

    <dc:date>2012</dc:date>

    <meta property="dcterms:date">2012</meta>

    <dc:date>2012</dc:date>

    

    The validator at http://validator.idpf.org/ gives me this.

    

    
      
        

          ERROR

            "dc:source", "dc:subject", "dc:title", "dc:type", "link" or
            "meta"
        

      
    
    

    I'm just wondering if anyone else is getting this or if it is a bug
    in my stylesheet.

    I'm using docbook-xsl-ns-1.78.1 stylesheets.

    

    Thanks,

    

    Peter
