Hi All,

I think I’ve found a not-so-elegant way to fix this:

First, I create unique section prefixes for each article. Like (§1§,§2§,…,§n§). Just making sure it’s impossible for anybody to have that in their articles.

Then I generate index, select it and “find and replace” each section prefix with corresponding DOI:

§1§ Maps to DOI_String_1
§2§ Maps to DOI_String_2
…………
§n§ Maps to DOI_String_n

And there you have it. No scripting required.

Please let me what you think.
Kind regards,
Kasra
