December, 2014, PG 108, Building a fast coal loader, John Wilkes, Build this modern industry for your layout

Cheers!

Cool! However as pointed out,

Cool! However as pointed out, its updated monthly, therefore I'd have to dl it monthly. 

I'd still like to see an in-print listing if possible.  I do understand an imbedded link wouldn't work if you don't have internet access, but it would still direct me to my archived PDF without having to do a 'search'. 

Not unlike...

Not unlike the magazine

Joe, you created the

Joe, you created the "ePub version of MRH..." thread and in it specifically state you were planning an index for advertisers. ("And we also want to provide an ad index so you can find each advertiser's ad").  

Something along those lines is exactly what I'm suggesting for being able to find related featured articles. 

I understand the point of indexing the advertisers since they are the life blood of keeping this all free, but since atleast one page is dedicated to them already in each months magazine that seems a bit redundant?  But that's not the point of my thread. 

If the effort to do so for advertisers is "worth it", can this not be an option for the feature articles?

Other articles...

Rather than a separate index, in the feature articles there could be a short list near the by-line, "See this this authors other articles in MRH, June 2010 & July 2014"

Yes!   Being free and not

Yes!  

Being free and not necessarily constrained to editorial length due to material costs makes it seem like an index shouldn't be a problem to include (however I have no idea what it takes to put the E-zine together), but even a simple listing would be perfect.

Joe's posted since I made this thread though... kinda hoping he'd weigh in, even if to shoot this idea down. 

We'll consider it

Skip the hyper links

I suggest just making a simple, text only, cross reference list. Hyper links are not going to work within our downloaded copies of the mag anyway.

Of course if you really want to include links, you could just copy and paste the links and other info from the TOC index, it's all there.

Yah Joe, I know building the

Yah Joe, I know building the index/list at first will be a time consumer (I do a lot of third party Engineering for Rolls Royce so I know what it takes to form a database), but once done and cataloged for future article inclusions the work would be almost non existant just to add another reference.   

Thinking about it more, Bill is right, skip the hyperlinks and just have it as a text list. 

Hyperlinks and links in the comment threads are great if you're online.  I travel quite a bit and don't have internet access always available, but I do have my DL'd archive in which to read at will.  Having a list to know where to find the related articles in my archive would be awesome... and I would assume I can't be the only one who would/could benefit from this. 

The database is done...

The list of articles already exists, it just needs to be sorted by author and it's cut and paste easy.
Maybe a little formatting will need to be applied.

Joe knows where to find it
