Index with Dates?

[Art Campbell]

Create a new paragraph tag with minimal font size and leading (unless you
want it to stand out), and set the color of the font to white.
Insert it at the anchor points in the text where you want the index
cross-refs to lead readers. Type your date and generate the List/Index of
paragraphs.
