Description
In the DITA model, Index tags may be inserted inline (meaning before, after, or within sentences or phrases) in most DITA elements, including the block elements of paragraph, bulleted list, and numbered list. They are used to create in-situ index references to the topic or to text within the topic.
However, inserting an inline element such as anywhere into a block element may present problems for translation. In addition, translation memory (TM), which stores segments that have been previously translated, may not match segments that are divided by index tags, especially if the index tag has been added or moved since the previous translation.
