<para>If zero, then an index entry in an index links
|
|
directly to the location of the
|
|
generated <tag>anchor</tag> that is output
|
|
for the indexterm. If two identical indexterm elements
|
|
exist in the same section, then both entries appear
|
|
in the index with the same title but link to different
|
|
locations.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If non-zero, then an index entry in an index links to the
|
|
section title containing the <tag>indexterm</tag>, rather than
|
|
directly to the <tag>anchor</tag> output for the indexterm.
|
|
Duplicate indexterm entries in the same section are dropped.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The default value is 1, so index entries link to
|
|
section titles by default.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In both cases, the link text in an index entry is the
|
|
title of the section containing the indexterm.
|
|
That is because HTML does not have numbered pages.
|
|
It also provides the reader with context information
|
|
for each link.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This parameter lets you choose which style of
|
|
index linking you want. </para>

<itemizedlist>
|

<listitem>
|
|
<para>When set to 0, an index entry takes you
|
|
to the precise location of its corresponding indexterm.
|
|
However, if you have a lot of duplicate
|
|
entries in sections, then you have a lot of duplicate
|
|
titles in the index, which makes it more cluttered.
|
|
The reader may not recognize why duplicate titles
|
|
appear until they follow the links. Also, the links
|
|
may land the reader in the middle of a section where the
|
|
section title is not visible, which may also be
|
|
confusing to the reader.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>When set to 1, an index entry link is
|
|
less precise, but duplicate titles in the
|
|
index entries are eliminated.
|
|
Landing on the section title location may confirm the reader's
|
|
expectation that a link that
|
|
shows a section title will take them to that section title,
|
|
not a location within the section.
