Sonar Bookends: Index Generation

Abstract

While it is true that some wordprocessors have the capability to produce their own indices, Sonar Bookends offers the advantage that users do not have to mark words and phrases in the source document in order to produce an index. Sonar Bookends can generate a simple index using words as they appear in the document to be indexed. Indexes can also be built from a word/phrase list supplied by the user in the form of an ASCII file. In addition, proper noun indexes can be built by Sonar Bookends, based on rules of capitalization and punctuation. The package can mix and match any of these types of indices to produce a custom‐designed index.
