The use of See
in an IndexTerm
indicates that
the reader should be directed elsewhere in the index if they attempt
to look up this term.
The content of See
identifies another term in the
index which the reader should consult instead of
the current term.
Suppressed. This element provides data for processing but it is not rendered in the primary flow of text.
It is possible for multiple IndexTerm
s, taken together,
to form an illogical index. For example, given the following
IndexTerm
s:
<indexterm><primary>Extensible Markup Language</primary> <see>XML</see></indexterm> <indexterm><primary>Extensible Markup Language</primary> <secondary>definition of</secondary> </indexterm>
there's no way to construct a logical index because an entry in
the index should never have both a see
and other
content.
DocBook cannot detect these errors. You will have to rely on an external process to find them.
The InterfaceDefinition
element will be discarded in DocBook V4.0. It will no longer be available
in the content model of this element.
