Inform 7 has an already installed indexing system. The indexing system is very useful for larger games as it can help the person find what they are looking for very quickly.
The indexing system can be used relatively quickly and can be very effective. But believe it or not, most people don't know about this indexing system. Thus the people that don't know about spend most of their time trying to find the part they want. Which can take up valued time. So that is why I will be telling you, how to access this easy and quick to use index.
First off you have to know that you must include in every chapter, volume or section and specify that it is a sort of part within your game. This makes it easier for the maker of the game to find what they are looking for and really quickly.
In every part you create, (mostly every room, that's what I do). You must say it is a section within your game. Or inform 7 won't pick up that it is actually there.
Example, (at the start of each room)
Section/Volume or Chapter 1 The Kitchen
When you have finished and completed the sectioning and chapter editing, you must go to the content tab at the top of your source coding. Click that and you can see the chapters and sections you have made. With the slider down the bottom of the content tab put it on recognize all, and it will show you ever little thing about you game.
When clicking on one of these you can quickly find the text your looking for. It will appear in front of you.
