Re: DOCBOOK: SegmentedList in an IndexDiv

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

/ Philippe MARTIN <pmartin@eridan-info.fr> was heard to say:
| The Docbook 4.1 DTD says that
| <!-- SegmentedList in this content is useful for marking up permuted
|      indices. -->
| but I can't understand the sense of this. 
| 
| What are permuted indices ?

In a permuted index, every permutation of an index entry is indexed.
So, if you were indexing "DocBook: The Definitive Guide", you'd
have four index terms:

  DocBook: The Definitive Guide
  The Definitive Guide DocBook:
  Definitive Guide DocBook: The
  Guide DocBook: The Definitive

The X Books had some really big ones.

| Could somebody give me a little example of its use ?

I have to admit, I don't see how a SegmentedList helps, off the top
of my head...

                                        Be seeing you,
