Thread: duplicated index entry found ...
Non-critical, but figured I'd mention it ... this was from the beta build this evening ... /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/local/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl/modular/bin/collateindex.pl -f -g -i 'bookindex' -o bookindex.sgmlHTML.index Processing HTML.index... 568 entries loaded... duplicated index entry found, CHARACTER STRINGS LENGTH duplicated index entry found, LENGTH CHARACTER STRINGS duplicated index entry found, SUBSTRING duplicated index entry found, SUBSTRING 4 entries ignored... Done. Marc G. Fournier ICQ#7615664 IRC Nick: Scrappy Systems Administrator @ hub.org primary: scrappy@hub.org secondary: scrappy@{freebsd|postgresql}.org

Yeah, I've been seeing that for quite some time, but haven't been able to figure out what it's complaining about. Surely multiple index entries for the same term are legal, so what's its beef? regards, tom lane

Surely multiple index > entries for the same term are legal, so what's its beef? Since by default (which we don't override) an index entry points to its nearest containing section (rather than directly to its occurence), if a section contains the same index entry more than once, it does indeed look like a duplicate on the outside. There are at least two obvious ways to get rid of the warnings, but I could never figure out the benefits and drawbacks of them. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net
