Subject: About indexterm implementation
Dear DITA TC members, I'm implementing DITA to PDF plug-in in DITA Open Toolkit. I found that there are implementation guidelines in the 3.1.3.2.1 indexterm section in the DITA1.2 specification. For instance there are descriptions about topicref/tomicmeta/keywords/indexterm, topic/topicmeta/keywords/indexterm and indexterm elements in topic/body. However I noticed that there are another location that a author can write indexterm elements in DITA. For instance: bookmap/booktitle/mainbooktitle bookmap/booktitle/booktitlealt bookmap/bookmeta/keywords toipic/title topic/shortdesc,abstarct I think the implementation should ignore indexterm elements in bookmap/booktitle or bookmeta because they are usually outputted in the cover of the publication and the cover usually does not has page number. If the indexterm element exists in topic/title or topic/shortdesc,abstract, I think they should be honored. My question is the treatment of the ranged indexterm. If the ranged indexterm appears in topic/title or topic/shortdesc,abstract what should I do? <topic> <title><ph>Sample title<indexterm start="INDEXTERM_IN_TITLE">Sample Indexterm in title</indexterm></ph></title> ... </topic> If there are any implementation guidelines, please let me know. Or there is no guidelines I think it should be written in the specification. Regards, -- /*-------------------------------------------------- Toshihiko Makita Development Group. Antenna House, Inc.
