Bug ID: 92854
Summary: Alphabetical indexes index TOC
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.4.4.3 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: tha...@yahoo.com
I have created two alphabetical indexes using concordance files.
The document already has a TOC at its beginning (front matter, latin numeral
pages).
The alphabetical indexes include also the contents of the TOC, which does not
make sense in terms of publishing: indexes are a reference to the main text of
a document and should not be a *reference to a reference* to the main text such
as the TOC.
Obviously a workaround is to delete the TOC, insert the alphabetical indexes
and re-create the TOC, but this is rather sloppy.
PS: As an offshoot to this bug, indexing in general could use an enhancement,
namely the capability to index selected ranges of the text (e.g. sections or
chapters).
In the present setup:
-a TOC can refer to a chapter or to an entire document, so if it is in the
front matter (i.e. outside any specific chapter) it can only index the entire
text. To index a specific chapter ot should be place after heading 1, which for
publication purposes is totally inadequate
-an alphabetical index also indexes the front matter meterials (latin numeral
pages) which, according to various style guides, should not be indexed.
This is just a side note, I will file an enhancement request shortly.
