Index Specification Reference Page

Question

I am trying to create a subject matter index using the marker type Index (using unstructure FM 12). The output should look like this (the image below was created using the "Subject" marker type; I need to use "Index" because that is what generates in the ePub output):

However, when I generate using the Index marker type, I lose the blue text and the chapter number before the page number. From what I can tell, FM is somehow inserting <$pagenum> into the index specification reference page, even though I have specified in there that it should be <hyperlink><$chapnum>-<$pagenum><Defalut Para Font>.

Any ideas how I can get it to stop inserting the <$pagenum> into the reference page?

Check the paratag names (i.e. compare what FM created with what you had). FM will only add new entries if it can't find corresponding ones for the levels used in the Index markers. The paratags should all end in "IX" when using the "Index" marker.

Exactly which paratag are you editing on the Reference page and in which Flow? FM uses the Flow name to know what to pick up for formatting the entries. [A screen capture of your Index reference page would help].
