Book Element

Description

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

The Book object represents the content and structure of a document. Objects can be dragged and dropped into a hierarchical outline list to form the content of the document and rearranged to form the desired structure.

Books can also be used inside other books. For example, a book containing a sub-set of regularly used objects can be included 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.
