Question

FrameMaker 2019 DITA and ePub indexterm

  • December 3, 2020

In several topics I've defined some <indexterm> elements:

<indexterm>LEV1
   <indexterm>LEV2
      <indexterm>LEV3</indexterm>
   </indexterm>
</indexterm>

After being published in ePub, the index looks something like this:

LEV1
LEV1
LEV1
LEV1
LEV1
   LEV2
   LEV2
   LEV2
   LEV2
   LEV2
      LEV3a
      LEV3b
      …

But it must be:

LEV1
   LEV2
      LEV3a
      LEV3b
      …

 What's wrong?

    Hi,

    Have you tried publishing it to html5 and did you get the same results there too ??
    In FM if you want multi-level, then you can try out something like this :

    <indexterm>LEV1:LEV2
</indexterm>


    It will produce like 

    LEV1
    LEV2



    If you want, you can share the sample file on punagpal@adobe.com and I'll have a look too.

    Thanks
    Pulkit

    In html5 all is OK. I've tried:

    <indexterm>LEV1:LEV2:LEV3</indexterm>

    But it does not work. It produces:

    LEV1
  LEV2
  LEV3
