INDEX

Syntax:

INDEX [ switches ]

Description: Builds an index using the index entries specified by XE fields (§2.16.5.79), and inserts that index at this place in the document. Each index entry and subentry is a separate paragraph unless the \r switch is used, in which case, an index entry and all its subentries together make up a paragraph.

Field Value: The index.

Switches: Zero or more of the following field-specific-switches.

`\b` field-argument	Builds an index for the portion of the document marked by the bookmark indicated by text in this switch's field-argument.
`\c` field-argument	Builds an index having the number of columns per page specified by text in this switch's field-argument. That number can be 1–4. Without this switch, the number of columns is 1.
`\d` field-argument	The text in this switch's field-argument specifies a sequence of characters that is used to separate sequence numbers and page numbers when the `\s` switch is used. By default, a hyphen (-) is used.
`\e` field-argument	The text in this switch's field-argument specifies a sequence of characters that is used to separate an index entry and its first page number. By default, a comma (,) and space sequence is used. If text contains a horizontal tab character, the page number list is right justified in the column.
`\f` field-argument	Builds an index using only those entries having the entry type (§2.16.5.79) specified by text in this switch's field-argument. Without this switch, all entries included.
`\g` field-argument	The text in this switch's field-argument specifies a sequence of characters that is used to separate the start and end of a page range. By default, an en dash is used.
`\h` field-argument	Builds an index such that the text in this switch's field-argument occurs as a heading—formatted with the Index Heading style—at the start of each set of entries for any given letter. If the first letter in text is `A` or `a`, that letter is replaced with the corresponding letter for each letter set. To replace the default heading with a blank line, use a space as text. example:
`\k` field-argument	The text in this switch's field-argument specifies a sequence of characters that is used to separate an index entry and its cross reference (as produced by an XE entry (§2.16.5.79) having a `\t` switch). By default, a period (.) and space sequence is used. example: :
`\l` field-argument	The text in this switch's field-argument specifies a sequence of characters that is used to separate two page numbers in a page number list. By default, a comma (,) and space sequence is used.
`\p` field-argument	Builds an index using only those entries whose first letter is in the range of letters specified by text in this switch's field-argument. The letter range has the form startLetter`-`endLetter. If startLetter is `!`, entries whose first character is not a letter, are also included, as are the letters starting from A. The letters in the range can be either upper- or lowercase.
`\r`	Runs subentries into the same line as the main entry. Colons (:) separate main entries from subentries; semicolons (;) separate subentries.
`\s` field-argument	The text in this switch's field-argument is used as a sequence name, and the sequence number is included along with the page number, these numbers being separated by a hyphen (-), by default. Use the `\d` switch to specify a separator character other than the default.
`\y`	Enables the use of yomi text for index entries.
`\z` field-argument	The text in this switch's field-argument is specifies the language ID used to generate the index as defined in the ST_LangCode (§2.18.52) simple type.
