Dot leaders in an index of markers

[Tina Ricks]

Hi there-

 

I'm wrestling with an index and reference pages. Maybe someone can help. I'm
in FM8.

 

This is an author index in a large book of professional papers for a
conference. (Some authors wrote multiple papers, some papers have multiple
authors). I want the index to look like this:

 

A

Abner, Joseph

                Paper Title ..................page num

Adams, John Quincy

                First paper title.................page num

                Second paper title...............page num

B

(etc. etc.)

 

My markers are the "Author" type. A typical marker looks like this (inside
the marker dialog box):

 

Abner, Joseph:Paper Title

 

So. I want page numbers with dot leaders for the second level in this index
only, not the first level.

 

On the reference pages, I've modified the Level2IOM style to add a right tab
with dot leaders. On the reference page, I inserted the tab, and the
<$pagenum> text.

 

My reference page looks like this:

 

--------------------------

1, 2-3

Level2IOM...................................................................
.......................................... <$pagenum>

Symbols[\ ];Numerics[0];A;B;C;D;E;F;G;H;I;J;K;L;M;N;O;P;Q;R;S;T;U;V;W;X;Y;Z

<$symbols><$numerics><$alphabetics>

-_--

Level1IOM

openObjectId <$relfilename>:<$ObjectType> <$ObjectId>

<$pagenum>

--------------------------

 

I re-generate the book. No dice. Nothing I've managed, short of typing in
the tab character where I want it (after every Level 2 entry, before the
page number) will make these dot leaders show up. I've deleted the whole
Index of Markers and started over again (figuring I messed something up
irreparably), no dice. No dot leaders.

 

I would love any advice to make dot leaders behave themselves.
