 +====== Map Info (DED) ======
 +
 +A //Map Info// definition specifies the properties of a map.
 +
 +
 +==== Core concepts ====
 +
 +Map Info is a mechanism for defining the metadata and properties of a playable map. During the map authoring process, a map is given an identifier. This identifier is used to associate a Map Info definition with the map, thereby separating the metadata from the map data itself (geometry, spawn-spot information, etc...).

 +
 +==== Syntax ====
 +
 +{{page>map_info_syntax}}
 +
 +
 +==== Examples ====
 +
 +Doom's first map, "Hangar" in Map Info form:
 +  
 +  Map Info {
 +    ID = "E1M1";
 +    Title = "HUSTR_E1M1";
 +    Title Image = "WILV00";
 +    Author = "id Software";  
 +    Music = "e1m1";
 +    Par time = 30;
 +    Sky = "sky1";
 +  }
