Index Term (Nesting Element Model) Details Dialog Box
The Index Term (Nesting Element Model) Details dialog box displays when you select the Index Term (Nesting Element Model) style for an element. It allows you to define the elements that should be used to output content for a nested index entry. You can also access this dialog box by selecting the > menu choice to modify the settings for an element that has been assigned the Index Term (Nesting Element Model) style.
The Index Term (Nesting Element Model) Details dialog box contains the following options:
• Indexes tab - specifies the indexes in which the index term being styled with this dialog box will be included.
◦ Available indexes - a list of the index definition objects configured for the stylesheet. Select an index object then click Add to specify that the index term should appear in the indexes formatted by that index object.
◦ Selected indexes - the indexes in which the index term will be included. Select an index object then click Remove to confirm that the index term should not appear in indexes formatted by that index object.
• Roles tab - specifies the elements that hold index entry content, and defines a role for each element in an index entry.
◦ Available elements - Lists the elements that are permitted to perform a role in the index term being styled. The list contains child elements of the index term element that are unstyled or styled as Inline or Hidden. The element being styled is automatically classed as the wrapper element (index term role). You can also configure the roles of its children in the index term, if required. This allows more than one element to be an index term, and each index term element to designate the elements that will perform other roles. It also permits and element that’s not the index term to be part of multiple index models.
Click Add to specify that the element holds index entry content.
◦ Index term elements - Lists the elements that have been identified as index entry content holders, and the role that is currently set for each. The role defines the level at which the content of the element will be output in the index.
Click Remove to confirm that the element does not hold index entry content.
◦ Element role - Defines the possible roles for an element within the index term. To set a role for an element, highlight the element in the Index term elements list, then select a role from the Element role list. Once you have assigned a role to an element, that role will be deactivated for selection with another element.
