Re: Search & replace inside indexing codes?

An update: Phillip, I hadn't realized yet how powerful your new macro is. I thought it worked only for topic and sub-topic, but then discovered that it seamlessly works for three levels as well (and any number of levels, I guess) — fantastic! This macro immensely improves indexing in Nisus. THANK YOU!

Re: Search & replace inside indexing codes?

Philip, thank you again. I tested your script, and it works like a charm for indexing entries with two levels (except in footnotes, right?). And it feels quite polished, too. Great! Thank you, Martin, for pointing out the Finding in Indexing script. Using both scripts makes fine-tuning an index much...

Re: Search & replace inside indexing codes?

Thank you Philip. I'm getting by, slowly. I must correct my imprecise previous statement. I can't really make codes visible, except in the sense that marked words get a visible frame around them (Preferences/Appearance/Include in Index). When I copy such a word and paste it into the Find & Repla...

Re: Search & replace inside indexing codes?

Hmm, I don't think the Macro is quite working. What I did: 1. replaced the relevant text stings in the "Index Topic to replace" section of the Macro; 2. ran the Macro; updated the index. The text string I wanted to replace remains untouched. Just to make sure we're talking about the same t...

Re: Search & replace inside indexing codes?

Hello Philip, Thank you for the quick macro! In the meantime, I seem to have discovered that, as long as you make the indexing codes visible and then paste and copy them into PowerFind (both what you are looking go change and the change you want), it seems to work. I'll have to experiment more to ma...

Search & replace inside indexing codes?

Hi, I wonder whether there is a simple way to replace expressions within indexing codes. Specifically, I am building a book index. Say I have indexed a sizable number of words with the expression "Metaphor:cross cultural" but I wish to replace that with "Metaphor:in comparative perspe...

Re: Is this TOC flavor possible to achieve?

Wow. Thank you, guys. Thank you, Philip! This macro is exactly what I needed. Redoing the TOC each time I update it was out of the question, but with this bit of magic it became feasible. Over the last few years, as I worked on the book, I often thought how pleasant it is to use Nisus for the purpos...

Is this TOC flavor possible to achieve?

Hi, I'm wrapping up a book and would like to achieve a TOC where the chapter levels are as usual, but then the chapter sections are not separated into different lines and are immediately followed by page numbers in brackets. Something like this: Introduction.............................................

Re: NW for iPad?

At the moment, I'm content just having the wonderful capabilities of NWP on my Mac. As it happens, I use Scrivener for most of the heavy lifting in my writing process, and NWP basically comes into my workflow on the wrapping-up stage (or for writing short essays). Currently, Scrivener features a cle...

Re: How to automate creating a TOC with active hyperlinks?

Many thanks, Philip! I appreciate the hark work. Despite all the caveats, in my case you just turned drudgery into a brilliant pass of magic. Clean and efficient! It's good to know there's an active macro wizard in this community. Thanks again.

Re: How to automate creating a TOC with active hyperlinks?

Thank you, Martin. I was hoping there was a convenient way to get a TOC without page numbers, and with clickable links, in the rtf document itself (as opposed to only in the pdf or html exports). But it's not important in the long run, that's not something I'd need often. And the existing panoply of...

Re: How to automate creating a TOC with active hyperlinks?

Hi Philip, thanks for the swift reply. To clarify, what I need is a TOC in the document, with hyperlinks not pages (since this will be an html document in future). I actually did that already. I created a TOC with no page numbers, then applied the hyperlinks manually, one by one. But I thought that,...

How to automate creating a TOC with active hyperlinks?

I just imported into NWP an essay that I'll be finishing here. I still can't quite believe how easy it was to apply styles to all parts of the text in this document using the tools NWP provides. It took me about five minutes. This is awesome! This said, I've hit a minor bump in the road. I'm finishi...

Re: How to automatically apply styles to imported document?

Here you are guys … my Scrivener --> NWP workflow. I'm sure I've made omissions or not been clear in places, so get back to me if necessary. Hope it helps anyway. It seems the zipped .scriv project is too big for this forum software, so. If you PM me with an email address, I'll find a way of gettin...
