Re: [docbook-apps] Indexing.

Should have waited to observe what else might happen.

It appears that the way I entered as in the previous e-mail is the expected manner in which to code secondary enteries in a static index. Repeating the primary entry generates the following:

Algoma

Appeal for Diocese of

Algoma

Contributions to Diocese of

Algoma

Report of Committee on duty of Synod

This is easily corrected, by using the method discovered in the first e-mail I sent.

Cheers - Paul

Hi Dave and Docbook-apps Company:

In working with a legacy text, 1875, and it's index I entered five secondary entries, expecting an error, using the following:

<index><title>Index</title>
<indexentry><primaryie>Admission to Seats in Synod</primaryie>
<secondaryie>Ven. Archdeacon McMurray</secondaryie>
<secondaryie>Rev. Dr. Sullivan</secondaryie>
<secondaryie>Rev. Dr. Stocking</secondaryie>
<secondaryie>Wm. J. Harris</secondaryie>
<secondaryie>W. B. Curran</secondaryie></indexentry>
</index>

And to my surprise and delight this validated and produced the desired entry.
All I have to say is that the xslt stylesheets for DocBook are awesome!
If this should not work - don't change anything.

Grateful - Paul

I'm about to start indexing a db5 book.
Reading up on the subject(Nancy C. Mulvany) and wondered if anyone has
been there and done that, got the tee-shirt and found the pitfalls in docbook? Any advice from those with lots of experience of using
db indexes please?
