| Popis: | Locators are one of the required elements of index entries. While finding an index entry requires familiarity with a known order of symbols, so does the ability to follow a locator, when its form differs from that of a simple page number in Arabic numerals. This article, which is written from the perspective of the usability of indexes, describes unusual locators, including those that require knowledge of a non-Roman character set and those that assume knowledge of the order of the books of the Bible, Christian feast days, and the like. |
