Make the examples index better - list all examples with "Example $ChapNum$.$ExNum$: $example_title$" #287
Comments
This is probably a combination of a bunch of efforts. It'll require more metadata on the example side (e.g., better title, language, etc.) and then a bunch more LaTeX to generate the correct data in both places. |
@wgropp I'd like to see some feedback from you on this before we try to go too far down this path. I think this probably would involve two parts:
The first thing would probably need to be done by @wgropp . The second thing will be a combined effort of each of the chapter committees. |
I think this is worthwhile, but as you suspect, it will take a number of steps, including updating the index building process. I'll work on that, and when its ready, I'll note that on this issue (ready will mean both updating the macros, build process, and instructions document) |
Ok, I have a working version. Use |
Thanks for taking care of this @wgropp! The new version looks much more useful. |
Problem
The example index is counter-intuitive: it lists terms/phrases/functions used in examples, rather than a list of the examples in the document.
Proposal
There should be an index that lists all the examples in the format:$ChapNum$ .$ExNum$: $example_title$ , $page_num$
Example
The "function usage" information from the current examples index is useful - this should be added to the function index.
