Cannot Add Multiple Authors to Meta

FergatROn · 05-18-2011, 03:32 PM

Hi,

I'm having a problem adding multiple authors to the meta of a recently converted document. I'm learning more about Subversion so I converted this HTML page to an ePub format (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn-book.html).

I want to add the authors, but it's only taking the first one.

Quote:

--authors, -a¶

Set the authors. Multiple authors should be separated by the & character. Author names should be in the order Firstname Lastname.

Based on the documentation above I try the code below:

Code:

$ ebook-meta svn-manual-1.5.epub -a "Ben Colllins-Sussman" & "Brian W. Fitzpatrick" & "C. Michael Pilato"

It only takes the first author.

Thanks for any help.

& is a special character for shells. Use

-a 'authro1 & author2'
