Question

Index indicating chapters names per reference

I would like to know how, in addition to the pages of each item of the index, to indicate the full name of the "chapter" in the references. Each chapter is in a different document from the book.

I found how to reference the chapter number in the index through the sections, but since I have many different chapters, and the topics can be better illustrated if besides the page number there is the chapter name in the index, I wanted to know how I could do that.

Thank you!

Hi Daniel,

This might be possible through Table of Contents. If you are looking for something like this

Unfortunately not. In the end-of-book index I want to display not only the page of each item but the reference chapter name (abbreviated) of each item.

Just by curiosity:

How do you reference the chapter number in the index through the sections?
