Wiley has a set of file naming conventions that uniquely identifies each text element of a book and each individual figure. All filenames begin with the last six digits of the book's ISBN. In this section of our handbook, the example ISBN ends in 512345. If you don't know your book's ISBN, ask your Development Editor.
Text Elements
For chapters, use the book's last six digits of the ISBN, followed by a space, the letters ch, and the two-digit chapter number. For Chapter 1, the filename is as follows:
512345 ch01.doc
For appendixes, use the last six digits of the ISBN, followed by a space, the letters app, and the appendix letter. For Appendix A, the filename is as follows:
512345 appA.doc
Part opener pages should be submitted as separate documents. Use the letters pp, followed by the part number. (Note that part numbers should be referred to in Roman numerals everywhere except in the filename.) For the Part I part opener, the filename is as follows:
512345 pp01.doc
For the front matter (author bio, dedication, preface, and acknowledgments), use the letters fm, without a number, as shown here:
512345 fm.doc
For the introduction use the letters intro without a number as shown here:
512345 intro.doc
Some series have special text elements that do not fall into any of these categories. For proper filenames for these elements, consult your Development Editor.
Art Elements
There are several types of art elements for naming the figure files; figures in chapters, figures in appendices, and margin art.
Figures in Chapters
To name a file for figures, use the last six digits of the ISBN, followed by a space, the letter f, and the four-digit figure number, without a hyphen. This four-digit number is composed of the two-digit chapter number, followed by the two-digit figure number within the chapter. For example, the four-digit figure number for Figure 3-7 is 0307. The full filename for Figure 3-7 would be:
512345 f0307.tif
Figures in Appendices
If the figure appears in an appendix, use the appendix letter instead of the chapter number. The filename for Figure A-7 would be:
512345 A07.tif
Figures are not permitted in part openers, and should be avoided if possible in the front matter.
Icon Art (formerly Margin Art)
Occasionally, you will need to show tiny images of buttons, or icons, or list small images in a table. This is referred to as icon art. Margin art is named the same way as regular figures, but you should use i (for icon) instead of f.
Code Files
If your book has a companion website, you should submit a ReadMe.txt file and a zipped folder of all of the book's download material in subfolders.
When submitting the code files to your DE (with your chapter, so the code can be tech edited), please zip the code files and name them ISBN##CH##_code.zip, where ISBN## is actually the 6-digit code you've been using all along, and ## is two-digit chapter number.
When submitting your final files for posting, please use the following structure and naming conventions:
- ISBNReadMe.txt (where ISBN is the 6-digit code you've been using all along)
- Folder [9780470177082 Pro CSS] — zip this folder once its contents are complete.
- ReadMe.txt — copy of the one that's outside the zip file
- Folder [Chapter 1] Folder [Chapter 2 ]
- Folder [Chapter 3]
- etc. — one folder per chapter. Each chapter folder contains all of the code files, graphic files, whatever the reader needs for that chapter.
If a chapter includes a complete application or project that you want to have its own folder, there are two options: include the project folder (the name of project is a good folder name) in the appropriate chapter folder, or include a separate folder in the zip folder, in which case you'll want to use both project name and chapter number in the folder name — Chapter 6 Editing Project, for example, or Book Program (Chapter 7). If you choose the latter, you'll want to mention the extra folder in the ReadMe file.
