Index Specification Reference Page

[SER617]

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?

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].

This is the reference page from the custom template I was using:

And this is the reference page that I get after generating the index in the book:

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.

Yes! I got it to work in an index of subjects (rather than standard index) by changing the paratags in the reference pages from SIX to IX suffixes. Thank you!!
