Introduction

Appendix is a component for Elxis CMS that generates and displays alphanumeric indices of content items, eblog posts, eshop products and eforum topics. When an Alpha Index letter (or digit) is clicked then component Appendix will show you all the content items, starting from this letter (or digit) for the selected section. Appendix alternatively can show you the categories starting from that letter or even (version 1.2+) eblog posts, eshop products and eforum topics starting from that letter. The component initially built as a commercial extension and afterwards (version 1.1) released for free under the Creative Commons 3.0 Share Alike license.
