actions on the site as a whole

Site Index

You can make an index over the entire document collection:

For that you have to define references in the source texts using the refkey directive:

These can then be used to create the index document, like:

Generate in bulk

You can (re)generate all the site documents and copy them to the mirror site all in one go:

You can choose to do all, all that is needed (just the ones with recent changes), and all that is new since the last time; besides that you can select to preview what will be done or to actually do it. For that you select ine of the options before executing the function:

This produces output that could look like this:
