Note

This element is intended primarily for use in document production or manipulation, rather than in the transcription of pre-existing materials; it makes it easier to specify the location of indices, tables of contents, etc., to be generated by text preparation or word processing software.

Examples

One use for this element is to allow document preparation software to generate an index and insert it in the appropriate place in the output. The example below assumes that the @indexName attribute on index elements in the text has been used to specify index entries for the two generated indexes, named NAMES and THINGS:

<back>
  <div1 type="backmat">
    <head>Bibliography</head>
    <!-- ... -->
  </div1>
  <div1 type="backmat">
    <head>Indices</head>
    <divGen n="Index Nominum" type="NAMES"/>
    <divGen n="Index Rerum" type="THINGS"/>
  </div1>
</back>

Another use for divGen is to specify the location of an automatically produced table of contents:

<front>
  <!--<titlePage>...</titlePage>-->
  <divGen type="toc"/>
  <div xml:id="DS-preface-2">
    <head>Preface</head>
    <p> ... </p>
  </div>
</front>
