Gee Mike, you're making me blush. I'll take credit for writing the paper,
but not for the tools that are out there. They are simple,
straight-forward and easy to implement.
Perhaps one of the most important notions in the paper is way at the end in
the Conclusions where I simply state that these techniques are as equally
applicable to ODS as they are to the Web-publishing macros. In fact, I am
preparing a new paper now for some of the fall Regional conferences wherein
I run scores of TABULATEs through ODS and create a separate stand-alone
cross-tabular Table of Contents with full two-way drill-down navigation
between it and the TABULATEs. I'm calling it, "I'll Have the TABULATEs a
la ODS Please, With a Table of Contents On the Side". Stay tuned.
Ray
PS - for the record, there is a minor, but important typo (mine) in the
paper. In the section entitled "ENHANCED %TAB2HTM OUTPUT", the sentence
reading,
This would produce a converted value for NE of:
<A HREF='enhanced NE_stxdiv_1999_06_01.htm'>NE</A>.
should read,
This would produce a converted value for NE of:
<A HREF='enhanced NE_stxdiv_1999_06_01.htm'>NorthEast</A>.
Sorry.
