We would like Document! X to generate additional indexes for classes and class members. For example, the class FiMessageEncodingBindingElement is located in the Noemax.WCFX.Channels namespace. Document! X does generate separate index entries for Noemax.WCFX.Channels and FiMessageEncodingBindingElement, but we would also like to have a Noemax.WCFX.Channnels.FiMessageEncodingBindingElement entry. Is it possible to do this with Document! X? TIA Alexander

  There isn't any way to do this in the Ui at present, but there is a way to achieve this in Document! X 2010 if you don't mind getting your hands dirty with some hand editing of .xml files.

  The first thing you need to do if you haven't already is to create a custom Template. Once you have defined your Template, open up the config.xml file in notepad - you can find this file in the Template directory below \programdata\innovasys\documentx2010\templates\dx.net\<templatename>

  In this file you will see a set of <PageType> entries for each type of generated page. Below each of these elements is a <PageTypeKeywords> section containing zero or more <PageTypeKeyword> elements. Each of those elements defines an index keyword that is generated for that page type. So if you wanted to include an additional index entry for a Page Type, add a new <PageTypeKeyword> entry - in this case using the %%FullItemName%% placeholder to include the full type name. e.g.

  <PageTypeKeyword Index="KIndex">%%FullItemName%%</PageTypeKeyword>

  That's great! Now I can generate Namespace.Class indexes using the %%FullItemName%% keyword. Is there any keyword to generate a short Class.Method type of index? I can generate Namespace.Class.Method but it's not the way MSFT is doing it. Thanks

  %%ShortParentItemName%%.%%ItemName%% should do it for methods, constructors, properties, fields, events and operators.
