IndexIX -- <$autorange><$pagenum> IndexTableIX -- <$autorange><$pagenum>t IndexFigureIX -- <$autorange><$pagenum>ff
All of them have a Hyperlink character tag assigned to them so the page numbers are blue. Notice the "t" and "ff" and the end of the Table and Figure entries. This is automatically added after the page numbers. But, I understand that you want the text entry itself to have formatting. I'm not sure how to help there, but the above way is how I use a multi-marker index (which, by the way, ePublisher does not support). -Lief -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scott Prentice Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2011 4:13 PM To: Combs, Richard Cc: 'Framers' Subject: Re: Formatting of multi-marker indexes... Hi Richard... Thanks for the very detailed explanation. I should have provided a bit more info on this. I do understand how indexes are formatted and generated, but what I was hoping for was that there was some way to assign unique IX reference flows to each marker type and in some way have this assign different Level<N>IX para tags .. I assumed this wasn't possible, and it sounds like this is the case. I was hoping to avoid manually assigning character formatting to each entry. Frank's semi-automated approach to adding the character formatting is interesting, but it would be great if this could be done based on marker type to reference page mapping.
