Hello, Leah.
Note that the content model for <index> is:
-----
<!ELEMENT index (head?, (address | chronlist | list | note | table |
blockquote | p)*, ((listhead?, indexentry+) | index+))>
-----
and therefore, within an <index> element you MUST use one or more
<indexentry> elements (or an <index> child element), AFTER your
<chronlist> if you use it. The message from XMLSpy will disappear if you
do so.
Maybe you are trying to insert your <chronlist> in the wrong place.
Note that <chronlist> may appear within more than 30 other elements too,
without loss of hyperlink ability: your <date>s can contain ptr's and
your <event>s can contain all the ref's you need as well.
Excuse my english.
Best regards,
Tomás.
