------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Dec 15 06:12:58 -0800 2005 ------- By default in OOo, an index entry covering a range of pages M to N is represented by MX where X is a string specified by the locale <FollowPageWord> element; there are two such strings, one for the case where the N - M = 1 and one where N - M > 1. In other words, these two strings are abbreviations for "and the following page" and "and the following pages". In German, these two strings are "f." and "ff." In English, the locale file specifies these two strings as "p." and "pp.". This is incorrect. "p." and "pp." are the abbreviations for "page" and "pages". The correct abbreviations in English for "and the following page"/"and the following pages" are "f."/"ff." (as in German). This confusion perhaps arose because "p."/"pp." are often used together with ".f"/"ff.". For example, in running text, you might say "See pp.121ff for more information". However, in English "p."/"pp." never occurs in an index and always occurs before the page number. The documentation for com.sun.star.i18n.XIndexEntrySupplier.getIndexFollowPageWord() also needs changing. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
