[Scrollkeeper-devel] extracted index

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

hi

attached is an example of an index extracted using the stylesheet I've written 
for scrollkeeper.  I'd appreciate if you could have a look at it and provide 
some feedback.

A few issues to note:
1. only dealing with indexterms from the original document that include an "id" 
or "zone" attribute (in order to provide anchors back to the original document)

2. If an indexterm occurs more than once in the original document then will 
result in a duplicate entry such as this eg.
 <primary>
    <title linkid="idx-a2" id="id10715">Panel</title>
    <title linkid="idx-a9" id="id10715">Panel</title>
    
    - this is not ideal, but not sure how to get round this.
    
3.  ids are generated within the index to provide internal links for see and
    seealso references. For example, where "Main Menu, Example" is an index 
entry, and there is a see reference from "Chapter, Example" to "Main Menu, 
Example" the output will be as follows:

<primary>
    <title>Chapter</title>
    <secondary>
      <title>Example</title>
      <see id="id10791">Main Menu, Example</see>
    </secondary>
  </primary>
  <primary>
    <title>Main Menu</title>
    <secondary>
      <title linkid="idx-a3" id="id10791">Example</title>
    </secondary>
  </primary>
 
 
 In order to be able to match the <see>/<seealso> content to the correct index 
term I need to be able to assume the <see>/<seealso> content will be structured 
in a set way, ie primary, secondary, tertiary (each term seperated by a comma 
and a space - or whatever, once it is consistent).
 
 
 cheers
 Mary
