Dear Framer Folks:

Has anybody ever used the <$nopage> index variable?

It's a good thing and a bad thing. When put into an index ref it will
generate whatever text you designate, usually "see also . . . " This saves
unnecessary duplication of entries, e.g. "Utility knife/Knife, utility."

BUT the actual link that's created links back to wherever the marker resides
within the book text. This effect would be confusing for digital readers.
They would want to go to that section of the Index referred to in the entry
text.

Do any of you sharing mentors have some sort of solution to this glitch?

Grateful in advance,

~ Don Spencer
