The pxindex-builder gem is intended to create a Polyrex Index document for populating a dynamic tree list on a web page which can either be expanded or collapsed. On average it would take the user 3 clicks to select any of the above statements. To open the door the use would click on the letter o, followed by click on the word open and then click on the open the door statement.

Output (extract):

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

Notes:

• This gem is suited for a mobile phone user interface where the user finds it more convenient than speech recognition or by manually inputting the text (even with autocompletion)
• The gem is intended to store a relatively large list of user-defined statements.
