Subject: 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
