Glossary

Unread post by ArnorBld »

Hi all,

I need to create a fairly simple glossary of terms used in my software. I'm using chm and pdf output.

My question is: Is there any way to sort, for example a table on the first column? That would solve my problem completely as then I could put the terms in column 1 and the explaning text in column 2.

If that is not possible, could this be considered for future versions?

Hi Arnor,

I'm afraid there's no sorting function in H&M4 topics, in tables or list formats (only in the TOC and what the index does automatically).

As a kludge, you could copy the table to Word, sort it there, and then copy it back to H&M and reapply styles.

The best way to try to get this feature added would be to add an entry to the Wish List forum. (There might be one there already, in which case you could add your vote to it.)

Good luck,
Dean
