<index-term>
Index Term
An index term to be embedded into the narrative of a standards document so that an Index can be created programmatically.
Remarks
Index entries are recursive, so if a category (“drinks”) contains a sub-category (“lemonade”), the category
<index-term> will contain two components:
- its own <term> (“drinks”), and
- an <index-term> for the sub-category. This subordinate index term will contain its own <term> (“lemonade”).
<index-term> <term>drinks</term> <index-term> <term>lemonade</term> </index-term> </index-term>
An <index-term> is either a single target point or the
start of an index range. When it is the start of a range, an @id attribute is required, so
that the <index-term-range-end> element can point to the start of the range.
