meta information not showing in Calibre

BruceEckel · 08-12-2013, 07:31 PM

I'm trying to add meta information to my html file so that I don't have to enter it every time (unless there's some kind of "refresh" to automatically fetch a new version of the html file after I change it? I haven't found such a thing).

Here's what I've added, in the <head>:

<meta content="MindView LLC" name="Publisher"/>
<meta content="Bruce Eckel & Dianne Marsh" name="DC.creator.aut"/>

(I also tried "Author" instead of "DC.creator.aut")

When I load the file into Calibre and go to "Convert Individually" the Author and Publisher still don't show.

Is there some kind of tag or information I can put into the HTML so the Author, Publisher, ISBN, etc. will automatically be loaded? Thanks!

Yes there is a 'Get metadata from format' (reads OPF in an EPUB' not sure in other formats other than they do work if the format supports metadata)

It is the blue 'i' in the metadata editor (single mode). There does not appear to be a bulk mode fetch.

This set Calibre from the book.
Conversion is the other way, set the book from Calibre
