#35 Ranges and attributes: location merging is wrong

[Andreas Nolda]

Consider the following raw index [1]:

(indexentry :key ("Test") :attr "flagged" :open-range :locref "1")
(indexentry :key ("Test") :attr "flagged" :close-range :locref "3")
(indexentry :key ("Test") :locref "2")

[1] should be equivalent to the raw index [2]:

(indexentry :key ("Test") :attr "flagged" :locref "1")
(indexentry :key ("Test") :attr "flagged" :locref "2")
(indexentry :key ("Test") :attr "flagged" :locref "3")
(indexentry :key ("Test") :locref "2")

Given the following index,

(define-attributes (("flagged" "default")))
(define-location-class
"arabic-page-numbers" ("arabic-numbers"))
(markup-locclass-list :open " ")
(markup-locref-list :sep ", ")
(markup-range :sep "-")
(markup-locref :open "*" :close "*" :attr "flagged")

xindy's output for [2] is (as expected):

Test *1*-*3*

For [1], however, xindy outputs:

Test *1*-*3*, 2
