Indigo layout index has keywords and subkeywords at same level

I'm using the Indigo HTML 5 layout in RH2017. The index in my help project contains keywords and subkeywords. However, the subkeywords are listed at the same level as the keyword. This causes the index to look like it's in non-alphabetical order, because it's not clear to the user which are keywords or subkeywords.

Here is a screenshot with the Indigo layout:

And here is the same index in a CHM output. The subkeywords are at a different level.

Is there a way to reproduce the CHM-style nesting of the index with the Indigo layout?

Hi Stewic,

Did the update 2 for RoboHelp 2017 fix the problem for you? I just installed the update and regenerated...my index is still not indenting for the Indigo layout.

You have to import the layout again. It does not correct things in your

existing layout.

Create a new simple project with just enough to test this.

If that works then delete any Indigo layout from your main project, close

it, delete the CPD and then reopen it. Now create a new Indigo layout.

It's late here. I'll post more in the morning.

Hold up. From the wording of your reply, I thought you had seen Update 2 released. It is fixed in the update as I saw an early version for testing. When Update 2 is released, then import the layout afresh.

Please see the thread at How to control fomatting used on WebHelp Index tab?

I will lock this thread to keep all the answers in one thread. Post there if what is there does not help.

I have unlocked this thread as there is a key difference, you are generating an HTML5 layout and the other thread is about WebHelp.

Nonetheless, check the other thread first. Also try importing the Indigo layout again and giving it a different name such as Indigo 2.

Post back to say solved or report that it is still an issue.

I'm still having this issue. I've tried re-importing the layout, but no success. I'm seeing the issue when I use the Indigo layout with other RH projects too.

I can produce (non-HTML5) Webhelp that has the correct index indentation level.
