Question

"div" part of compound page number in index not hot linked

Dear Adepters,

I've got a puzzle related to page-number links in indexes built in Arbortext Editor (AE 6.1 M020, but it also appears in 6.0 and probably earlier versions too)

I built my FOSI indexing code using help 6099, "Example 2: Titles - Complex Page Numbering."

When I publish a doc via Print Composer (or Publish --> PDF File...) the "div" part in compound page numbers is not hot linked in indexes, but the "folio" part is. The div part (along with the folio part) IS hot linked In TOC and LOI entries, also built via AE help.

Below is a piece of the index markup (used for debugging) generated via <usetext source="index.app" userule="1"></usetext>. Both div and folio parts of the page number are inside the <ixpgstr> element.

<ixpt>AVIATION FACILITY SHIP</ixpt><ixpgstr>8-6</ixpgstr><ixpgkey>392</ixpgkey>
<ixpt>FORMATION FLYING</ixpt><ixpgstr>9-1</ixpgstr><ixpgkey>395</ixpgkey>
<ixpt>INTERNAL TRANSPORT OF CARGO/PASSENGERS</ixpt><ixpgstr>9-6</ixpgstr><ixpgkey>400</ixpgkey>

Is this just a feature of index page linking that we'll have to live with?

    Hi Jack,

    FWIW: I am seeing the same behavior in FOSI index coding (in 6.0 m090) that
    I've been reusing since it was developed for us by Arbortext Services (Hi,
    Trudy!) a long time ago. I'm guessing "feature."
