Subject: indexterms and "excluding nested topics"
In the writeup for index-range-start, we say: Due to the potential for orphaned range markers during map assembly, page ranges cannot span topics at the topic level. Index ranges that start within a topic must end in the same topic, excluding nested topics. I'm not sure what the above sentences mean. Are we saying that ranges can start and end anyplace within a "top level topic"--irrespective of any substructure including any contained (and therefore non-top level) topics--where a "top level topic" is a topic or any specialization thereof that has no ancestor that is a topic or any specialization thereof? Assuming so, then I gather that any of the following would still be allowed: <topic> <body> <indexterm>A<index-range-start/></indexterm> <topic> <p>CdefXYZ.</p> </topic> <indexterm>A<index-range-end/></indexterm> </body> </topic> <topic> <body> <indexterm>A<index-range-start/></indexterm> <topic> <p>Cdef<indexterm>A<index-range-end/></indexterm>XYZ.</p> </topic> </body> </topic> <topic> <body> <topic> <p>Cdef<indexterm>A<index-range-start/></indexterm>XYZ.</p> </topic> <task> <p>Cdef<indexterm>A<index-range-end/></indexterm>XYZ.</p> </task> </body> </topic> But what wouldn't be allowed would include: <dita> <topic> <p>Cdef<indexterm>A<index-range-start/></indexterm>XYZ.</p> </topic> <topic> <p>Cdef<indexterm>A<index-range-end/></indexterm>XYZ.</p> </topic> </dita> Am I understanding our proposed meaning correctly? paul
