<para>This parameter enables a very neat trick for getting properly
merged, collated back-of-the-book indexes. G. Ken Holman suggested
this trick at Extreme Markup Languages 2002 and I'm indebted to him
for it.</para>
<para>Jeni Tennison's excellent code in
<filename>autoidx.xsl</filename> does a great job of merging and
sorting <tag>indexterm</tag>s in the document and building a
back-of-the-book index. However, there's one thing that it cannot
reasonably be expected to do: merge page numbers into ranges. (I would
not have thought that it could collate and suppress duplicate page
numbers, but in fact it appears to manage that task somehow.)</para>
<para>Ken's trick is to produce a document in which the index at the
back of the book is <quote>displayed</quote> in XML. Because the index
is generated by the FO processor, all of the page numbers have been resolved.
It's a bit hard to explain, but what it boils down to is that instead of having
an index at the back of the book that looks like this:</para>
<blockquote>
<formalpara><info><title>A</title></info>
<para>ap1, 1, 2, 3</para>
</formalpara>
</blockquote>
<para>you get one that looks like this:</para>
<blockquote>
<programlisting><indexdiv>A</indexdiv>
<indexentry>
<primaryie>ap1</primaryie>,
<phrase role="pageno">1</phrase>,
<phrase role="pageno">2</phrase>,
<phrase role="pageno">3</phrase>
</indexentry></programlisting>
</blockquote>
<para>After building a PDF file with this sort of odd-looking index, you can
extract the text from the PDF file and the result is a proper index expressed in
XML.</para>
<para>Now you have data that's amenable to processing and a simple Perl script
(such as <filename>fo/pdf2index</filename>) can
merge page ranges and generate a proper index.</para>
<para>Finally, reformat your original document using this literal index instead of
an automatically generated one and <quote>bingo</quote>!</para>
