Index entries appear in the Index tab of a WebHelp transformation. They do not appear in the PDF transformation.
Step-by-step guide
To insert an indexterm:
Open a DITA file.
- Within the prolog tag, locate the metadata element, then locate keywords.
Insert an indexterm element.
Note
indexterm elements may also reside anywhere within the body of the content (conbody, taskbody, etc.). However, as a direct link to the location of the indexterm is not created in the generated output (webhelp), it is a best practice to place them in the prolog section (prolog > metadata > keywords). This provides for easier identification when editing.
Within indexterm, type the new term.
Tip
Multiple indexterms can be inserted in the same location.
