both - and third solving the problem of homonym words.
Within the limits of a short introduction it is much
easier than for a complete article with all the filler
words.
The most important informations are normaly
- summarised in an abstract or
- in a list of keywords or a
- ToC.
Analogue to (:linebreaks:) / (:nolinebreaks:) I could
imagine something like (:pageindex:) / (:nopageindex:)
This construct implies, that searches uses constraint
only the pageindex.

but best is the possibility to discuss with the
mastermind behind. Thanks so much.
