build-list

The "build-list" pragma is used to instruct the BLUE PROCESSOR to build a Table of Contents or List of Figures from manuscript listmarks.

The syntax for the build-list pragma consists of:

• An exclamation point !
• The keyword build-list
• A coalescer (optional), specified using a full-stop . followed by a listmark coalescer.
• An order attribute, (sequential, alpha, numeric) to identify how the list entries should be ordered.
• A junctors attribute, (yes or no), to specify whether or not hyperlinks should be created from the section headers in the body-matter back to the entries in the built Table of Contents.

!build-list .coalescer *order=sequential|alpha|numeric *junctors=yes|no
							

If a coalescer is specified, the builder will only include listmarks which specify that coalescer.

The default value for the junctors attribute is yes, which instructs the builder to create backlinks from the section headers in the body-matter back to the entries in the built Table of Contents. But regardless of the junctors setting, each listmark occurance in the front-matter will always be hyperlinked to the corresponding header section in the body-matter of the final document.

Here is what a build-list pragma looks like within the body of a manuscript.

div {
    h1 Table of Contents
    !build-list .toc *order=sequential *junctors=yes
}
. . .

h1 ((.toc '1: Physics' "Physics"))
h2 ((.toc '1.1 Motion' "-- Motion"))
h1 ((.toc '2: Chemistry' "Chemistry"))
h2 ((.toc '2.1 Covalence' "-- Covalence"))
							

And here is the output created by the builder:

<div>
    <h1> Table of Contents</h1>
    <ol class='toc'>
        <li id=lm24 class='h1'><a href='#lm20'>Physics</a></li>
        <li id=lm25 class='h2'><a href='#lm21'>-- Motion</a></li>
        <li id=lm26 class='h1'><a href='#lm22'>Chemistry</a></li>
        <li id=lm27 class='h2'><a href='#lm23'>-- Covalence</a></li>
    </ol>
</div>

. . .

<h1><mark id=lm20 class='toc'><a href='#lm24'>1: Physics</a></mark></h1>
<h2><mark id=lm21 class='toc'><a href='#lm25'>1.1 Motion</a></mark></h2>
<h1><mark id=lm22 class='toc'><a href='#lm26'>2: Chemistry</a></mark></h1>
<h2><mark id=lm23 class='toc'><a href='#lm27'>2.1 Covalence</a></mark></h2>
