To determine how see and see-also entries are displayed in the index, you can specify:
To specify output formats for index see and see-also entries:
[IndexSeeFormats] ; IndexSeeStart = format to use at start of index-see references IndexSeeStart = SeeStartIndex ; IndexSeeAlsoStart = format to use at start of index-see-also IndexSeeAlsoStart = SeeAlsoStartIndex ; IndexSeeEnd = format to use at end of index-see IndexSeeEnd = SeeEndIndex ; IndexSeeAlsoEnd = format to use at end of index-see-also IndexSeeAlsoEnd = SeeAlsoEndIndex
All values here are the default format names. If you change any format names, you must either alias your names to the default names, or provide your own definitions in a subformat configuration file.
You can use the building blocks described in §8.1.5 Including typographic tags and character formats to fine-tune index see and see-also entries:
[SeeStartIndex] help = Start of "see" index entry form = <spc/><i><name/></i><spc/>
[SeeAlsoStartIndex] help = Start of "see also" index entry form = <i><name/></i><spc/>form = :<i><name/></i><spc/>
[SeeEndIndex] help = End of "see" index entry form =
[SeeAlsoEndIndex] help = End of "see also" index entry form =
These are the default formats, defined in Subformats configuration file d2htm_subformats.ini.
To specify text for index see and see-also entries, in the language configuration file referenced by your project:
[IndexSeeText] ; SeeStartIndex = content to use at start of index-see entries SeeStartIndex = see ; SeeAlsoStartIndex = content to use at start of index-see-also SeeAlsoStartIndex = See also ; SeeEndIndex = content to use at end of index-see SeeEndIndex = ; SeeAlsoEndIndex = content to use at end of index-see-also SeeAlsoEndIndex =
Each value becomes the <name/> content of the corresponding format component. A colon at the end of the value specified for SeeEndIndex or SeeAlsoEndIndex forces the following item to the next index level.
Text for the settings in [IndexSeeText] is specified in language configuration files; see §8.9 Localizing output headings, labels, and names. The text shown here for these settings is the default text specified in d2g_lang_en.ini, located in directory %OMSYSHOME%\d2g\system\lang.
