I definitely would like a richer accommodation for index
terms. We use "see" and "see also" items and often use three levels of index
terms. IBM used to have a very fine internal document on indexing which DITA
ought to support.

Subject: [dita] A richer
indexterm
Do DITA adopters see a need for richer indexterm content? It only
allows plain text at the moment. But typical book indexes are littered with "see
XXX" and "see also XYZ" entries that should be treated specially. I pulled up an
IBM manual online ("IBM WebSphere V4.0 Advanced Edition Handbook", by IBM, March
13, 2002) on Safari, and its index page has plenty of HTML-ized index entries,
such as:
Packaging [See Application
packaging]
Password encoding 2nd
Performance 2nd [See also Workload management]
PKI [See Public-key infrastructure]
Plug-in [See Web server plug-in]
plugin-cfg.xml
2nd
Default location
POP3 [See Post Office Protocol]
Post Office Protocol
Problem
determination [See Troubleshooting]
Public-key
infrastructure
PVCS
How do real-world adopters do this?
Thanks.
Chris
