Index-base

The <index-base> element allows indexing extensions to be added by specializing off this element. It does not in itself have any meaning and should be ignored in processing.


The <index-base> element can only exist as a child of an <indexterm> element. This characteristic makes it the appropriate element to specialize to add indexing extensions. Specifically, the index-see , index-see-also, and index-sort-as elements only make sense as children of <indexterm> and so are specializations of <index-base>. Those elements are all part of the [[indexing domain]], which is new for DITA 1.1.


On its own, <index-base> has no meaning. Processors should ignore this element and its content if encountered in its unspecialized form.
