Omni Systems, Inc. Mif2Go User's Guide, Version 55
> 11 Generating JavaHelp or Oracle Help > 11.4 Generating contents and index > 11.4.3 Configuring index entries for JavaHelp or Oracle Help
Mif2Go generates the JavaHelp or Oracle Help index
file, MyDocIndex.xml
.
However, most of the ways you can customize index entries for HTML-based
help, described in §7.5 Configuring index entries for Help systems,
do not work for either JavaHelp or Oracle
Help. Both produce indexes with the following possibly undesirable display
features:
Index.xml
.
In JavaHelp there is no graceful way to handle index entries that have multiple references to different places in the helpset, so Mif2Go converts multiple references into subentries, each with the topic title (including any autonumber) as the visible information.
Oracle Help supports only two levels of index entries; the index view collapses any levels beyond the second.
Oracle Help provides an <iindexentry>
tag for index files, which affects how topic names display for multiple
references to the same index term. You can turn it off:
[JavaHelpOptions] or [OracleHelpOptions]
; UseIndexentryTag = Yes (OracleHelp only, default)
You should not need to change the default setting
for UseIndexentryTag
, unless you are generating
Oracle Help for Java and you prefer the
way Mif2Go handles multiple-reference index entries for
JavaHelp.
