Editing the Index

Unread post by LeenaHaapoja »

Hi, I have started to create an index for one of my manuals, which contains a lot of parameters with their explanations. I have added the keywords in some topics using Ctrl + K.

Now I would like to organize my index so that I could define certain top level keywords as master keywords, and the lower level keywords as their children. Is there any way to do that easily, for example, by dragging and dropping? I'm attaching one screenshot as an example.

Hi Leena,
Now I would like to organize my index so that I could define certain top level keywords as master keywords, and the lower level keywords as their children.
You do this by adding the child keyword under the master keyword with a tab character. This can also be done with the Index tool. See these topics in the documentation (and the entire chapter on indexes and keywords)
