+
+<summary>
+    <p>The index of a directory can come from one of two sources:</p>
+
+    <ul>
+      <li>A file written by the user, typically called
+      <code>index.html</code>. The <directive module="mod_dir"
+      >DirectoryIndex</directive> directive sets the
+      name of this file. This is controlled by
+      <module>mod_dir</module>.</li>
+
+      <li>Otherwise, a listing generated by the server. This is
+      provided by <module>mod_autoindex</module>.</li>
+    </ul>
+    <p>The two functions are separated so that you can completely
+    remove (or replace) automatic index generation should you want
+    to.</p> 
+
+    <p>A "trailing slash" redirect is issued when the server
+    receives a request for a URL
+    <code>http://servername/foo/dirname</code> where
+    <code>dirname</code> is a directory. Directories require a
+    trailing slash, so <module>mod_dir</module> issues a redirect to
+    <code>http://servername/foo/dirname/</code>.</p>

+<usage>
+    <p>The <directive>DirectoryIndex</directive> directive sets the
+    list of resources to look for, when the client requests an index
+    of the directory by specifying a / at the end of the a directory
+    name.  <em>Local-url</em> is the (%-encoded) URL of a document on
+    the server relative to the requested directory; it is usually the
+    name of a file in the directory. Several URLs may be given, in
+    which case the server will return the first one that it finds.  If
+    none of the resources exist and the <code>Indexes</code> option is
+    set, the server will generate its own listing of the
+    directory.</p>
+
+<example><title>Example</title>
+DirectoryIndex index.html
+</example>
+
+    <p>then a request for <code>http://myserver/docs/</code> would
+    return <code>http://myserver/docs/index.html</code> if it
+    exists, or would list the directory if it did not.</p>
+
+    <p>Note that the documents do not need to be relative to the
+    directory;</p>
+
+<example>DirectoryIndex index.html index.txt  /cgi-bin/index.pl</example>
+    <p>would cause the CGI script <code>/cgi-bin/index.pl</code> to be
+    executed if neither <code>index.html</code> or
+    <code>index.txt</code> existed in a directory.</p>
