- TABLE OF CONTENTS/INDEX GENERATOR
-
- To mark a piece of text to be included in the index or table of
- contents, use the <EFFECTS> command (the ALT E key). Go to the start
- of the text to be marked, press <EFFECTS>, pick 'i' for index and 't'
- for table of contents, and type 'y' to turn the marker on. Then move
- to the end of the text, and repeat the same procedure, typing 'n' to
- turn the marker off.
-
- To mark off sub-entries for the table of contents, insert two or
- more toc markers before the text. For every additional marker, the
- entry will be indented two additional spaces in the table of contents.
- For the index generator, all you need to do is mark off an entry
- once. The index generator will search the entire text for all oc-
- curences of that entry.
-
- The <SPECIAL FUNCTIONS> command (the ALT S key) allows you to
- invoke the <INDEX> and <TOC> functions.
-
- When you press the <TOC> command, you will be first asked what
- leader character you want. This is the character that appears between
- the text on the left-hand side and the page number on the right-hand
- side. The default character is a period. You are then asked whether
- you want the table of contents to be inserted before the first line in
- your file, or saved to a separate file. If you choose the latter, you
- will be prompted for the name of the file.
-
- When you press the <INDEX> command, you are asked whether you want
- the index put after the last line of the file, or written out to a
- separate file. If an item occurs on consecutive pages, say 2, 3, 4 and
- 5, then the pages will be express as a range (ie "2-5").
