Hello Framers, I just finished a big index project for a client. The index has 50 sections in a single FrameMaker document. Like a regular generated document, each entry is hyperlinked back to its source.
The text that needs to be indexed is formatted with a particular character tag. As the script encounters each text range, its target index section is identified by a regular expression. The required data, including sort information, for each entry is loaded into a database. Then the script does a series of queries on the database to build the final index. Previously this huge index was done by hand because there was no feasible way to do it with multiple marker types and generated documents. I mention this here for those that may have labor-intensive tasks that don't have an easy FrameMaker solution. With FrameScript, many of these "impossible tasks" can be fully automated. If you need more information, please contact me offlist.
