To configure See and See also entries in the index, you can specify the words used as starting terms in those entries. DITA2Go uses this information for sorting (see §16.5.6.3 Choosing where to sort See also index references) and for merging (see §16.11 Setting up a dynamic modular Help system).
To specify the words to use for See and See also in the index:
[Index] ; SeeTerm = word(s) used as the start of a See index entry, default ; "See" without the quotes, case is significant SeeTerm=See ; SeeAlsoTerm = word(s) used as the start of a See also entry, default ; "See also" without the quotes, case is significant SeeAlsoTerm = See also
These settings allow you to designate different terms, perhaps in another language, or to specify a different case. For example, if you always capitalize both words in your See also index entries:
[Index] SeeAlsoTerm = See Also
DITA2Go recognizes See and See also entries that include multiple references, provided the references are separated by semicolons. For example:
includes two references, one to the index entry for “apples” and one to the entry for “pears”.
Links are active in OmniHelp and HTML Help
For OmniHelp, DITA2Go redirects both See and See also links to their targets in the index itself; see §19.7.6 Redirecting See and See also index entries. Microsoft HTML Help Workshop also redirects these links. However, there may be no visual clue that the links are there; you might have to double-click an index entry to activate the link.
Note: See/See also references that are not an exact match to a level 1 index term are omitted.
