Examples

Shows how to build and customize a table of authorities using TOA and TA fields.

    // displaying long citations and page numbers for each entry.

    // that have a matching value in their EntryCategory property.

    // Moreover, the Table of Authorities category at index 1 is "Cases",
    // which will show up as our table's title if we set this variable to true.

    // We can further filter TA fields by naming a bookmark that they will need to be within the TOA bounds.
    fieldToa.BookmarkName = "MyBookmark";

    // By default, a dotted line page-wide tab appears between the TA field's citation
    // and its page number. We can replace it with any text we put on this property.
    // Inserting a tab character will preserve the original tab.
    fieldToa.EntrySeparator = " \t p.";

    // If we have multiple TA entries that share the same long citation,
    // all their respective page numbers will show up on one row.
