Fine tuning the index

Indexing is creative work. Note that it may take many iterations adding markup. adding words to the "words_to_ignore" list and adding combinations that you want to combine under one index entry to the "words_to_merge" dictionary until you are happy with the index.

When indexing groups of words split by stop words, one problem that I currently have is that the resulting file is a bit more than 2 MB in size and this is too large for a Canvas page. This is due to the maximum_long_text_length being 500 kilobytes -1 as pointed out by  James Jones Links to an external site. in Wiki Page: size limit Links to an external site.. The result is that I divide the index into chunks no bigger than this. Then each of these pages needs to be added to the Canvas course.
