[publican-list] PDF Indices

[Norman Dunbar]

Does anyone use indices in their pdf documents? Do you use page ranges 
for any entries?

I'm using these just now in a fairly large document I'm creating and 
I've noticed that setting up an index page range, as follows, gives 
strange results.

Example:

At the beginning on a page range, add the following indexterm:

<indexterm class="startofrange" id="StartOfPTR">
<primary>Whatever</primary></indexterm>

At the end of the range, put this indexterm:

<indexterm class="endofrange" startref="StartOfPTR">
<primary>Whatever</primary></indexterm>

When the index is generated, you get something like

Whatever 10-22, 22

The page number for the end of range is added in as a separate single page.

If no-one has seen this, I'll log it as a problem.


Thanks.

Cheers,
Norm.
