Summary
Invokes the Create Simple Index dialogue box for you to create either a simple index, or an index control stream. The control stream can then be used in conjunction with the tformat macro to generate and regenerate an index.

Index Control Streams

An index control stream consists of various keywords. You can think of these in much the same way as other Arbortext APP macros, which Arbortext APP interprets by 'reading' the control stream when you generate your index.

Below is an eaxmple of a standard index control stream created through the Create Simple Index dialogue box, using the default formats and strings:

groups 1 index "ix1" headings 1 level 0,"[Lethdstyle]" level 1,"[ixLev1]" level 2,"[ixLev2]" level 3,"[ixLev3]" level 4,"[ixLev4]" level 5,"[ixLev5]" nformat 0,"$g" callout " " sep ", " rangesep "\-" joinsep ", " see ", see " seealso "See also " headingmap "_head_norm"

letterorder "_order_straight"

Example

The example below shows how to save an external index stream called index1 by specifying the keyword below in your control stream. This can then later be included in another document using .

 save "c:/index1.ix"
Example

The example below shows how to include the index file generated by save or savesort in an index.

 include "c:/index1.ix
