14.7.3.1 Choosing the type of index
to generate for HTML
To specify the type of index to generate for HTML
or XHTML output:
[Index]
; IndexNavType = HTML (default, plain HTML, uses idxhtm.css),
; CSS (pure CSS, uses idxcss.css), or JavaScript (uses idxjs.*)
IndexNavType = HTML
DITA2Go gathers all the index terms from your
document into one of three types of multi-level index, depending on the
value of IndexNavType:
IndexNavType
|
CSS file
|
Default effect
|
HTML
|
idxhtm.css
|
All entries visible initially; optional heading letters
across the top of the page, with links
|
CSS
|
idxcss.css
|
Only heading letters visible initially, arrayed vertically
on the left; mouseover reveals next level down
|
JavaScript
|
idxjs.css
|
Only index letters visible initially, arrayed vertically
on the left; click reveals next level down
|
DITA2Go accesses the required CSS (and JavaScript,
if IndexNavType=JavaScript)
from %OMSYSHOME%\common\local\htmlidx
or, if the files are not there, from %OMSYSHOME%\common\system\htmlidx.
You can copy the CSS and JavaScript files from \system\htmlidx to \local\htmlidx and edit
them there, to customize index appearance for your HTML output. Do not
change the names of these files, and do not edit the files in %OMSYSHOME%\common\system\htmlidx.
