Getting the title of each dita map to show up in output

[Scott Prentice]

Hi Steve...

Yeah .. that's basically the process for building a useful book/PDF from 
a map in default FM-DITA (saving the map to PDF directly is a quick and 
dirty way to get a PDF, but it's not likely to be the "book" that you 
want to give to your end users). You can optimize that a bit more by 
saving the book after you apply the pagination/numbering/etc settings. 
Here's a process that might help ..

This was written for FM8-DITA which did have a separate "map to book" 
command. In FM10 you'll want to do what you've done and save the map as 
composite files.

Cheers,

...scott
