Re: Sorted indexes and (string<?) in Jade

[Thomas Corte <thomas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

trying to create an Index from DocBook Indexterms, I think there
is another problem besides sorting the strings. If the same
Indexterm appears several times on page x, all I can get
with Jade
is something like

<subject> <page x>, <page x>, <page y>

while I'd rather see

<subject> <page x>, <page y>

That is, I'd like to combine sequences of equal page numbers to
a single entry. However, from what I know about DSSSL, I'm afraid
that is not possible, because the page numbers are not known
at the time Jade generates the FOT.

Does anyone know a solution without post-processing
Jade's output?
