Book Element

Author-it XML Format

Description

The book element represents an Author-it book object, and contains all of its properties.

Book Icon
The Book object represents the content and structure of a project. Drag objects into a hierarchical list to form the content of the project and rearrange to form the desired structure.

Use books inside other books. For example, included a book containing a sub-set of regularly used objects in the master book. This way you only need to add the sub book, and avoid having to duplicate relationships for each of the objects individually.
