Subject: DocBook Index: more than three levels needed
Greetings!
We are
beginning to use DocBook to mark up codes of ordinances, and it is serving
quite well! The books we publish, however, include in-depth
indexes, with up to six levels of entries. Here is an example of an index entry
from one of our publications:
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES =Fines, forfeitures and other penalties ==Excise taxes ===Collection ====Refund of tax, penalty or interest paid more than once or
illegally collected
..... §6-156
As far as we can see, the
levels provided in DocBook (<primary>, <secondary> and
<tertiary>) are not going to be in-depth enough to accommodate this level
of indexing.
This is what the mark-up
might look like, but we need suggestions on how to handle the entries AFTER the
tertiary level:
<section>
<title>Sec. 6-156. Refund of tax, penalty or interest paid more than once
or illegally collected</title>
...
<indexterm>
<primary>ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGES</primary>
<secondary>Fines, forfeitures
and other penalties</secondary>
<tertiary>Excise
taxes</tertiary>
<what
here?>Collection</what
here?>
<what
here?>Refund of tax, penalty or interest paid more than once or
illegally collected</what
here?>
<indexterm>
...
</section>
We are hoping for advice from
anyone who may have already encountered this issue, or thoughts about how we
might handle it.
(Note that our product of
primary concern is the printed version, and for this, we have XyEnterprise's XML
Professional Publisher v7.2c.1, which can "extract" and print up to nine
levels of index entries...that is, once we define the nine levels in
mark-up for it to consume.)
Gratefully, LaRae Chasteen
