To attach one or more URLs to an Ftmap, prepare a ZIP archive with following elements:

  • The HTML or Markdown topics referred to in the ftmap file.
  • All URLs to attach.
  • An ftmap file with each URL to be attached between ft:attachment tags as follows:
<ft:map xmlns:ft="http://ref.fluidtopics.com/v3/ft#" ft:lang="en-US" ft:originId="ftmap_id" ft:title="My Map Title"
    <ft:toc>
        <ft:node ft:originId="first_topic" href="topics/topic_1.html" ft:title="My Topic 1" type="topic">
            <ft:node ft:originId="origin_id" href="topics/topic_2.html" ft:title="My Topic 2" type="topic">
            </ft:node>
        </ft:node>
    </ft:toc>
    <ft:attachments>
        <ft:attachment>
            <ft:originId>Linked_image_1</ft:originId>
            <ft:url>https://www.webpage.com/image.jpg</ft:url>
            <ft:displayName>Linked image</ft:displayName>
            <ft:mimeType>image/jpeg</ft:mimeType>
        </ft:attachment>
    </ft:attachments>
</ft:map>

Where:

  • ft:attachment expects all the information related to the attachment as follows:
Tag Description Mandatory? Default value
ft:originId The identifier of the attachment. Should be unique among all content uploaded through the FTML source. No ft:url
ft:url The URL to attach to the ftmap. Yes
ft:displayName The name displayed in the Reader page. No Extracted from ft:url
ft:mimeType The MIME type indicating the nature and format of the content. No Extracted from ft:url

Be careful not to confuse the ft:originId metadata associated with a map attachment and the ft:originId metadata associated with a topic or map. The first is defined at the attachment level within the ft:attachment node of an ftmap file, whereas the second two can be retrieved in the Metadata journal.
