As much as I want the content of my book to be finalized, it seemed to me that an example of numerical sorting should be included. It is attached. Please let me know any comments.

Thanks!

    Hi Suzanne,


    The incorrect numerical sorting is exactly what I need for part of my TOC. I am getting these errors:


    [A30203] ERROR: (indexing) Invalid record in preliminary index:
    no <ixpt> or <ixstart> tag.
    [A12548] ERROR (indexing): Locator (page reference) not found where
    expected;
    entire record will be ignored.


    I have a title, dotfill and the page number is preceded by the Chapter so I wasn't sure how to handle that.I also tried enclosing both chapter and page number in <ixpgstr>, and creating ixpt and ixpgstr eics. Usage rule=2 in the usetext for toc.app. I'm sure I'm missing something.


    <savetext textid="toc.app" conrule="&lt;col.fmt">,<ixpt>,fig-title.txt,</ixpt>,dot.fill,chapstr.txt[BO],\-\,<ixpgstr>,foliostr[BO],</ixpgstr>,-3pi,</col.fmt>"


    append="1"/>

    Caroline,

    What formatting are you trying to support?

    Hi Suzanne,


    I'm trying to sort my TOC by figure title, so the page numbers would be out of order, like in the first example from your attachment.

    Caroline,

    You will need to code an index rather than a TOC. I put the section on indexing from my book at

    Thanks, Suzanne!



    With the help of your attachment and the Arbortext Help, (because I did not know there were pre-styled index _sfes in Styler), got 'r done!
