doc: Useless ref-index.so #21
Comments
I've removed ref_index.so. Page 1000 looks like a weekend job though |
Just to make sure, that my issue was understood correctly (I should have added a few sentences more): If the removal of the index in v1.65 was on purpose, then removing the script completely is the right solution. |

Yes, that's about the same topic. I don't how useful the index is at all, for printed books yes, but today....? Especially as these PDFs have no hyperlinks on page numbers. |
See short discussion about this at #11 (comment) |
The permuted index had been removed in commit 4ae29d8 ("Remove secondary index from reference manual. Remove Warnings.", 2022-10-28) and further cleaned up in commit ad1d6f3 ("Remove vestigal ref_index.so (sierrafoxtrot#22)", 2022-11-04). See also issue sierrafoxtrot#21.
I don't see any harm leaving it it and believe it or not, I actually do have a use for the printed copy (although I'm probably in the minority). Hyperlinks would be a nice addition though. I'll look into how that might be done. |
The content of the generated
ref-index.so
is not used.Even if it's empty, the PDF is identical: same size, same text content, just some bytes are different at the end, some of them being a unique identifier
This is a regression of version 1.65.
Found a small extra problem: the last content page in the PDF has number 1000. But this was introduced a long time age (I checked 1.50 and it was already there)
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
