I appreciate your help, but I’m so new at this and fumbling my way through that
I don’t know where to put these commands you have provided me. I tried in the
Thermo Guide at the beginning. This is what I have:
<info>
<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="Logo/NPSSLogo.jpg"/>
</imageobject>
</mediaobject>
<title><trademark class="registered">NPSS</trademark> Fluid Network Thermo
Guide</title>
</info>
<chapter>
<title>Introduction</title>
<param name="index.links.to.section" select="1"/>
Not sure where to put the endtag. Seems no matter where I locate it I get an
error message. Will this work for PDF documents?

Have you changed the setting to the parameter?

I can get the index in the book.
My problem is I have a series of books that we are combining into a set so they
all print together and our members only gets one file with all the
documentation. I have the indexterms in each of the books, but when I go into
the set and have the books combined, this is what I get:
This is the Bookmarks for my PDF File:
1st Page – Combined Guides
2nd Page – Table of Contents (which is a TOC for the entire set, lists both
books and their sections and page numbers)
Then I get the 1st Book which is the User Guide and within that it has all the
sections and subsections along with the Index for that Guide
Next, I get the Thermo Guide and within that it has all the sections and
subsections along with the Index for that Guide
Last, I get the Set Index for both the guides and it lists all the items in the
combined indices, but does not list the book they may be in. If we have a
member that doesn’t know which book an index item may be in, we want him to be
able to go to the Set Index and click on the Item and know which book he is
going to. Some of the items may cross both books and he may just want the one
in a certain book
Does that make sense what I said?

Hi Emily
If you place the <indexterm><primary>defaultComposition<primary><indexterm> in
the docbook xml file User Guide it will generate an index similiar to what like
the following:
defaultComposition, User Guide
This will require searching through the text for the specific point at which to
insert the <indexterm/>.
Beware of white space - especially in long paragraphs.
I usually place the indexterms exactly where they will be placed.
However, if there are several to added to a paragraph - for ease of reading I
place them at the start of the paragraph - moving them into place in one of the
final checks.
Happy indexing!

Not sure if this is the correct list, but I’ve tried another one I thought I
had subscribed to.
In process of converting our word documents into docbooks. I’m very new at
this and been printing information and going through documentation on the
website.
Scenario:
I have 5 different documents that converting. Each one will be their own book.
I know how to create the index for each book.
However, I will be combining them into a set so that it will be easier for our
members to have one large set of books instead of 5 different books.
I can create the set index and it shows, but my question is:
How do I get each indexed item to reflect the book it is in.
The Set Index shows the following:
Set Index:
D
defaultComposition, 3
F
Fluid Network, 11
FluidPorts, 2
U
Unique variable attributes,3
There are 2 different books, but I don’t know which book the index item points
to and that is what we are trying to get to. For example, I would like for the
indexed item defaultComposition to show User Guide and maybe the FluidPorts to
show the Thermo Guide.
Is there a way?
Thanks much for your help.
