Subject: Generating an Index or Table of Contents


 Does anyone have any ideas on how one might generate an index at the back
of
 a document based on entries contained within the pages of the document.
 These index entries would need to know the page number of source of the
 entry.

 This appears to be a little more advanced for what FOP currently offers,
but
 I do not see references to this in the XSLFO specifications either.

 Thanks,
 Paul

Hello Paul.
 Does anyone have any ideas on how one might generate an index at the
 back of a document based on entries contained within the pages of the
 document. These index entries would need to know the page number of
 source of the entry.
Have a look at fo:page-number-citation.
You need all content that should be referenced in your index to have an 
attribute with a unique value. Write a template that matches that 
attribute, gets the value of the element as entry for your index and use 
fo:page-number-citation to obtain the page number.
