This is a feature/enhancement request, therefore changed 'Importance' field to 'enhancement'. Summary amended for clarity. This appears to be a request to include an equivalent of these types of elements: <index-see> <index-see-also> ... which are available in OASIS Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) but not OASIS OpenDocument Format (ODF). There are clear examples of how this would work under the link for each element here: http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/common/indexing-d.html#indexingdgroup There does not appear to be any OASIS issue in JITA related to enhancing ODF in this manner. I would like to second this enhancement request: cross-references are common in book indexes. There are two types: 1. One where the cross reference supplants the preceding text entry. e.g. "Canton, see Guangzhou" "farming, see agriculture" 2a. Where the cross reference supplements the text entry. e.g. "birds, 21, 88-99; see also chickens" 2b. Where the cross reference supplements the main entry but is entered at the end of the list of subentries. e.g. sacrifice animal, 74-75 see also rituals Details in "New Hart's Rules" (Oxford University Press) Indexing > Cross-references. |
