[reportlab-users] How to create multiple SimpleIndex in the same document?

[Billy Saelim]

Hi,

I wonder how to include more than one SimpleIndex in the same document.  
Suppose in my code I have:

    doc_structure.append(Paragraph('IndexA', style['Heading3']))
    index_a = SimpleIndex(dot=' . ', name='index_a')
    doc_structure.append(index_a)

    doc_structure.append(Paragraph('IndexB', style['Heading3']))
    index_b = SimpleIndex(dot=' . ', name='index_b')
    doc_structure.append(index_b)


And I use the name attribute to indicate to which index an item should 
go, for example:

    doc_structure.append(Paragraph('<b><index name="index_a"
    item="myterm" />My Term</b>', style['Heading5']))


And suppose I have created an instance of BaseDocTemplate called doc and 
would like to call its multiBuild method, what should I specify for the 
canvasmaker parameter?  If I do this:

    doc.multiBuild(list(doc_structure),
    canvasmaker=index_a.getCanvasMaker())

It would throw an AttributeError.

Please let me know what I have done incorrectly and if there is any 
example for creating multiple SimpleIndex in a document.

Thanks.

Billy
