How to create an index list with index terms¶

Produce & Publish provides a simple build-in mechanism for generating a list of index terms with their occurrence (page-numbers).

Prequisites¶

All index terms must be marked using:

<span class="index-term">some index term</span>

This can either be accomplished by generating the related markup through the content-type specific browser views/templates that are registered as @@asHTML view (Produce & Publish Plone Client Connector) or you highlight a term inside TinyMCE and apply the style Index term from the styles dropdown menu (Produce & Publish Authoring Environment).

Generating an index through the Plone Client Connector¶

The standard @@asPlainPDF view of the Plone Client Connector will automatically create an index listing at the end of the document. The underlaying transformation addIndexList is called automatically (see pdf.py file within the client connector sources)

Generating an index through the Authoring Environment¶

Inside the Authoring Environment have the option to create individual listings including an index listing by checking the related checkbox from the PDF tab of your conversions page.

Custom location of the indexes listing inside your template¶

By default the index listing will be added to the end of the document. However you can control the place through a custom PDF rendering template (e.g. inside your own resources directory). You may place the following markup e.g. in front or after the body text:

<div id="indexes-list">
    index listing will be inserted here
</div>
