Subject: RE: [dita] indexing question
I'd like to see Indexterm as a child of topic. It feels awkward to wait until prolog. JoAnn JoAnn T.

In fact, the earliest indexterm is allowed in a topic seems to be within keywords within metadata within prolog. Suppose one wants to use index-range-start and index-range-end to index an entire topic. It seems the soonest one can put the index-range-start in a topic is within the prolog. But suppose one has an abstract longer than a page. Then the index-range-start within the prolog (which follows the abstract) will not pick up the first page of the topic. This seems to be a problem. Do we need to allow indexterm in title, perhaps? Is there a better solution? I think we are also going to have a similar problem at the bottom of a topic. Suppose the last thing in your topic is related-links. Where can you put the index-range-end so that you can be sure it is on the last page of the topic? paul
