Notes

Wraps entries and locators. List items can also contain other lists.

Reference lists embedded in index list items must follow the entry and precede any locators. If they need to appear after the locators in print, use a transform to move them there.

Marking in Microsoft Word

Use paragraph styles like the following to mark index entries:

  • LISTindx-1_entry
  • LISTindx-2_entry

Only one entry is allowed per listItem.

Use paragraph styles like the following to mark index locators:

  • LISTindx-1_locator
  • LISTindx-2_locator

Mark secondary references to these locators as follows:

  • LISTindx-1_secondary
  • LISTindx-2_secondary

Note that each part of the index should be on a line by itself. These will be combined by transform in the display channels. The exception is locators, which can be grouped by line (for example, “3, 5–8”). If an item will ever appear on the Web, it may be advantageous to have each locator on a line by itself.

Embedding is often used to create index subentries (see sample). The number in the stylenames indicates the level of embedding.
