Element: Index Entry

Tag: <index.entry>

Definition:
Used to store pointers to the words, keywords, and phrases that can be used to generate an index automatically.

Remarks:
The element itself is empty; it does not surround words or phrases. The attributes of the element contain the words from which an index can be generated. Since the element does not use any words in the text, the entry may repeat the words used in the text or may include more general or more specific words than are used in the document.

An Index Entry (index.entry) is positioned at the place to which an index should point.

An Index Entry (index.entry) may be used in more than one index; the names of the indexes are supplied using the ""index"" attribute.

The tag minimization parameter does not appear in the XML version of this element (because it is forbidden by XML).
