7.5.4 Omitting intermediate index-range entries

By default, Mif2Go produces a separate index entry for every topic that falls within an index range; that is, Mif2Go creates an index entry for each topic that occurs in your FrameMaker document between matching <$startrange> and <$endrange> index markers. The following limitations apply:

• If you have more than one identical <$startrange> entry, the corresponding <$endrange> entry terminates all matching <$startrange> entries.

• If matching <$startrange> and <$endrange> entries are in different FrameMaker files, Mif2Go creates topic entries only up to the end of the file in which the <$startrange> entry occurs.

If your FrameMaker index includes broad ranges that span many topics (such as an entire chapter), you might not want every single topic title to appear in the generated index.

To omit all but the first and last topic references in each index range:

[HTMLOptions] or [HelpOptions]

; IndexRanges = Yes (default, include ref to every topic within range)

; or No (use only refs to topics at start and end of range in IX)

IndexRanges=No

You cannot eliminate the last entry in the range.
