[Scrollkeeper-devel] structure of extracted index page

[Mary D. <Mar...@Su...>]

hi

I'd appreciate some feedback/suggestions on the structure of the index 
scrollkeeper will create from a document.

To aid explanation, consider a document including the following index markups:

<indexterm id="idx-a1">
  <primary>Apple</primary><secondary>Big </secondary><tertiary>Green</tertiary>
</indexterm>

<indexterm zone="a1"><primary>Orange</primary><secondary>Medium></secondary>
</indexterm>

<indexterm id="idx-a2" class=startofrange>
  <primary>Banana</primary><secondary>Small</secondary>
</indexterm>
<indexterm startref="idx-a2" class=endofrange>




The Example below is an excerpt from the extracted index .
 
1. The tags <indexdoc> </indexdoc> indicate beginning and end of document
2. The index entry is indicated by the tags <indexentry linkid="id"> 
</indexentry>

I do not know how to handle See and See Also references (as they are not 
associatied with an id) - any suggestions?


Example:

<indexdoc>
   <indexentry linkid="idx-a1">Apple, Big, Green
   </indexentry>
   <indexentry linkid="idx-a2">Banana, Small
   </indexentry>
   <indexentry linkid="a1">Orange, Medium
   </indexentry
      
   etc. .......
   
</indexdoc>   



TIA
Mary
