I disagree with this, because it forces the author to presume a specific output format when creating the source. If you have a long section, you might want to index the first and last paragraphs of it with the same index term. When a PDF is generated, those paragraphs could easily fall on two different pages and thus should have two entries in the index. But when HTML topics are generated, you simply want to collapse these two entries into one and point it to the topic. I think the transforms should be smart enough to collapse identical entries in HTML topics. However, if there is only one instance of a particular index term in a topic, then I agree that it should go directly to the anchor point rather than the top of the page. ************************* Rob Cavicchio Senior Technical Writer EMC Captiva EMC Corporation 10145 Pacific Heights Boulevard, 6th Floor San Diego, CA 92121-4234 P: (858) 320-1208 F: (858) 320-1010 E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The opinions expressed in this message are my own and should in no way be interpreted to reflect the opinions of EMC. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
