Use of refToolbar for nice indexing of TextTerm

In order to publish a printed sample of the Multilingual Demographic Dictionary, we need a rich index at the end of the book with multiple entries. And in order to enter the various entries of a demographic expression, we can add optional arguments to the TextTerm template. But the more entries you add, the more unreadable is your source code, because of the various arguments entered. In order to simplify you can use the refToolbar:

• Edit your page and click on the icon {{ }}. If you don't see it, the installation above failed.
• You will see a new horizontal bar with icons for the Cite template, but at the right end of this bar, after Cancel, you get the TexTerm icon, click on it.
• You get a form which is probably empty unless your cursor was positioned within a TextTerm template.
• You can navigate within the page by clicking on the Next or Previous button.
• If you want to enrich a particular entry, you can do it. By clicking on Next it will be saved in the input area. Then you have to visualize your modifications and then publish them as usual.

That's it.

Example

In order to enrich the Italian index of the second edition, you can look at the Italian index of the first edition. Here is a picture of section 103: Example of editing a TextTerm with the Wiki editor

Explanations

For the following sentence of page:

studio, il quale si avvantaggia, in special modo, delle conoscenze acquisite dalla genetica di popolazione ⁴.

the source entered is:

studio, il quale si avvantaggia, in special modo, delle conoscenze 
acquisite {{TextTerm|dalla genetica di popolazione|4|103|IndexEntry=genetica
 di popolazione|OtherIndexEntry=popolazione, genetica di —}}.

Thus, the TexTerm entry is conjugated: dalla genetica di popolazione, but for the IndexEntry it should not: genetica di popolazione.

In order to enrich the index, you have to add (like all authors of the first edition did) an other Index entry: OtherIndexEntry=popolazione, genetica di —

Be careful on the way how authors entered the secondary entries because it is language dependent as well as, probably, publisher dependent. For the Italian edition they used a long dash, '—', which differs from the standard dash '-'. Please keep the same rules.

You can have more entries, 'OtherIndexEntryTwo' etc., up to five!!

For the Asian languages, like Chinese and Japanese, the authors did not completely approved the meaning of some western demographic expressions and wanted to keep the EnglishEntry.

You can also use the wiki editor to fix errors in the index, for example here is error: Using the TextTerm Wiki editor to fix errors in the index The 'OtherIndexEntry' might be probably inverted 'Kohorotwa, analisa'.
