Plain HTML Tab

The Plain HTML tab is only available when the HTML Index Type property is set to Plain HTML, and defines how Author-it will publish a plain HTML index page.

Author-it publishes a pure HTML Index on a single page with the following features:

• Single column format: The index page is displayed in a single column format with the entries indented based on level, and the links displayed indented below the entry they apply to.
• Dynamic A-Z Jumps: A to Z jumps are created directly beneath the heading. This includes items outside A to Z such as #,!,%, numbers, etc. Hyperlinks to alphabetic headings that do not appear in the index are not created. Instead just a placeholder is used.
• Styles: Author-it uses "Heading 1" for the Index title, "IndexHeading" for the A to Z headings, "Index1" through "Index9" for the different level of index entries, "IndexLink" for the link from each entry, and "IndexAtoZ" for the A to Z jumps list. If any of these styles do not exist the relevant part of the index will appear in plain text.

Index Type (Plain/HTML Help)

What type of Index will be published:

• A plain HTML index page.

  -or-

• An HTML Help index (requires the HTML Help ActiveX or Java Applet component).

Note: Make sure that the type of Table of Contents matches - either Plain HTML or HTML Help.

HTML Index Media

Sets a relationship to a Media object that defines the HTML page setup of the Index page. An Index always starts a new HTML page, so you must select a Media object.

HTML Help Index Template

Defines the HTML file to be used as the HTML Help index template. The default template "hh_index.htm" can be found in the Templates/HTML Help folder. Choose Edit to open and edit the selected template in Microsoft HTML Help Workshop.
