What does a colon (:) do when entered in an index marker?
Answers
1
Adding an index to a book file only sets up some of the properties for the index file,
such as its pagination and what markers will be used to compile it. You must use the
Update Book dialog box to actually generate (create) the index file for the first time.
2
As long as the title is at the start of the text flow and its paragraph format does not end
in
IX,
FrameMaker 7.0 will not replace the title text you type.
3
You edit the SeparatorsIX paragraph on the IX reference page to change the text that is
used to separate two pages in a page range in an index.
4
You should fix index errors in the source document. Then when you generate and
update the index again, the correction appears in the index.
5
FrameMaker 7.0 automatically creates and assigns these formats to the main index
entries (Level1IX) and to subentries (Level2IX). By modifying the properties of these
formats, you can quickly format the text of the index entries.
6
A colon separates the main entry from a subentry, or separates a subentry from a
subsubentry.
