Fluid Topics considers every map to be a book by default.

The following lines show an example of the bookmap file for the Time Machine User Guide book:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE bookmap PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA BookMap//EN" "bookmap.dtd">
<bookmap xml:lang="en-US" linking="none">
    <booktitle>
        <mainbooktitle>Time Machine User Guide</mainbooktitle>
    </booktitle>
    <chapter>
        <topicref href="intro_to_time_machines.dita"/>
        <topicref href="how_to_time_travel.dita">
            <topicref href="set_local_date_and_time.dita"/>
            <topicref href="set_destination_date_and_time.dita"/>
            <topicref href="set_destination_location.dita"/>
        </topicref>
    </chapter>
</bookmap>

It is also possible to explicitly define the editorial type as follows:

  • In a bookmap, declare the ft:editorialType as an othermeta in the bookmeta element.
<bookmeta>
    <othermeta name="ft:editorialType" content="book"/>
</bookmeta>
  • In a standard map, declare the ft:editorialType as an othermeta in the topicmeta element.
<topicmeta>
    <othermeta name="ft:editorialType" content="book"/>
</topicmeta>
