 The default is that no options are enabled. If multiple IndexOptions
 could apply to a directory, then the most specific one is taken complete;
 the options are not merged. For example:
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-&lt;Directory /web/docs&gt; <BR>
-IndexOptions FancyIndexing <BR>

-&lt;Directory /web/docs/spec&gt; <BR>
