I'm trying to figure out ways to allow people to navigate the Python Job Board more easily. A table of contents is easy to generate, but it gets big. The postings all have a pretty standard headline like this: Falkor Group (Highland Park, IL US) What I'd like is to be able to turn the state and country into a reference. For example, a section for IL, USA would link to these current entries: Falkor Group (Highland Park, IL US) TradeLink Holdings LLC. (Chicago, IL US) Leapfrog Online (Evanston, IL US) Leapfrog Online (Evanston, IL US) Moss Search, LTD [Agency] (Chicago, IL US) Prestige Staffing [Agency] (Lake Bluff, IL US) Manpower Professional (Lake Forest, IL US) Can I wrap the state/country in some little bit of markup that will cause docutils to generate a concordance or KWIC type index which can then be embedded in the generated HTML? Thanks, Skip Montanaro |

Nothing like that currently exists. In addition to "some little bit of markup" you'd have to write code to collect the references (& the containing titles) and collate the results into an index. This specific case is feasible, but the general case is non-trivial. For past thoughts on indexing, see http://docutils.sf.net/docs/dev/rst/alternatives.html#index-entries-indexes -- David Goodger <http://python.net/~goodger> |
