That’s it! I’m taking a stand. Whatever kind of #nonFiction you are writing, please include a detailed index. Eschewing an index reduces the utility of your book! Whether a tech book, cookbook, history or whatever, all readers benefit from access to an #index! #writers #publishing #authors #readers A table of contents is necessary but not sufficient. Bibliography too, please. #Backmatter matters.
@DianaOfPortland Serious question: Is this also relevant for ebook-only books? Or am I just trying to justify my lazyness
@CorinnaBaldauf It’s only a thing if you’d want me to resonate with some part of your content and want me to find it again when I want to promote it later on social media or in a conversation. 😉
@DianaOfPortland At least you got me to look into how to do this in markdown and ... not straightforward 😔
@CorinnaBaldauf @DianaOfPortland
How is this done 😳? If vague memories how it is done in LaTeX but never saw it in markdown (i haven't looked for it so)
