(* In Progress! - sorry if some links don't work. While this tutorial is being written, some indexing help can be found in this Lemur Q/A *) This thread discusses what kind of indexes are available in Lemur and what applications you can use to build an index. It will also teach you how to write parameter files, which are used with many of the Lemur applications. The parameter files control which options you want, including parsing elements and building a DocumentManager. This section also covers what a Lemur DocumentManager is.
