Re: [docbook-apps] Indexing.

Hi, some technical/formatting things we ran into while using indexes: 1. Indexterms within listitems add a line break in the generated HTML (if they come first). Review the entire documentation, and either reposition them to come after a para (workaround), or use zones: term1 term2

Should have waited to observe what else might happen. It appears that the way I entered as in the previous e-mail is the expected manner in which to code secondary enteries in a static index. Repeating the primary entry generates the following: Algoma Appeal for Diocese of Algoma

Re: [docbook-apps] Indexing software and DocBook

Richard, I have an indexer working on an ebook now. He's using embedded indexing (as per Bob's book) with oXygen, but apparently prefers to use SkyIndex for the indexing, then transfer the entries into XML chunks. I'll let you know in a few weeks exactly how he handled the job. Dave On

Re: [docbook-apps] Indexing software and DocBook

Dave, Thanks very much. It will be interesting to see how SkyIndex works. After doing some investigation on Cindex, it's clear that it's a pretty cool program, but it doesn't seem to be set up to work with markup that embeds codes, so there are extra steps involved in making it work with

[docbook-apps] Indexing software and DocBook

Has anyone worked with indexing software (like Cindex) and DocBook? It looks like Cindex will operate on XML instances and even export XML, but I don't know how practical it might be to use it for an indexing project in DocBook. If anyone has experience doing that and could spend a few minutes

Re: [docbook-apps] Indexing.

I've indexed three 500-page books, but never in DocBook. However, I'd like to reinforce Thomas Schraitle's point that it is both important and nontrivial. The first thing I'd recommend is to read up on indexing. The Wikipedia page is a good starting point.

Hi all, I've successfully made indexes for my books. Now I want to combine some books in a set - is there no way of making an index for the entire set? The spec says that index can't be a child of set. I know there is setindex, but that doesn't let me benefit from the automated indexing
