17.16.5.72 XE

Description: Defines the text and page number for an index entry, which is used by an INDEX field (17.16.5.29). The text of the entry is text in field-argument. To indicate a subentry, the main entry text and the subentry text shall be separated by a colon (:). Subentries beyond one level are permitted.

Field Value: None.

Switches: Zero or one of the following field-specific-switches.

\b

Applies bold formatting to the entry’s page number. However, if the index style for that entry is already bold, this switch removes that formatting for that entry.

\f

The text in this switch’s field-argument defines an index entry type. If an INDEX field has the same \f switch and field-argument, this entry is included in the resulting index; otherwise, it is excluded.

\i

Applies italic formatting to the entry’s page number. However, if the index style for that entry is already italic, this switch removes that formatting for that entry.

\r

Instead of the entry’s page number, uses the range of pages marked by the bookmark specified by text in this switch’s field- argument.

\t

Uses text from field-argument in place of a page number. [Note: Useful for “See …” or “See also …” entries. end note]

\y field-argument

Specifies that the text from field-argument defines the yomi (first phonetic character for sorting indexes) for the index entry.

[Example: Given the following fields spread over a series of pages, and a multi-page bookmark called OOXMLPageRange:

XE "Office Open XML" \b
XE "syntax" \f "Introduction"
XE "behavior:implementation-defined" \b
XE "Office Open XML" \i
XE "behavior:implementation-defined:documenting" \b
XE "grammar" \f "Introduction" \b
XE "Office Open XML"
XE "item: package-relationship" \t "See package-relationship item"
XE "XML" \r OOXMLPageRange
XE "grammar" \f "Introduction"
XE "production" \f "Introduction"
