FrameMaker 2019 DITA and ePub indexterm

[Andrei Bondarenko]

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

In html5 all is OK. I've tried:

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

But it does not work. It produces:

LEV1
  LEV2
  LEV3
