Hello,
Could anyone tell me what the following DITA OT error messages mean, please? I'm guessing the grammar is wrong, but I don't know enough about DITA to know what they are getting at.
Thanks in advance.
PDFX001W - There is no index entry found which closing range for ID="%1".
PDFX002W - There are multiple index entry found which is opening range for ID="%1" but there is only one which close it or ranges are overlapping.
PDFX003W - There are multiple index entry found which closing range for ID="%1".
PDFX007W - There is no index entry found which opening range for ID="%1".

Hello,
These are index term related errors. It seems you inserted some indexterm elements in your DITA topics with start and/or end attributes that can't be matched to other indexterm elements. Can you send us or post here some DITA topics that show these errors in a DITA transformation?

Thanks for the reply.
I didn't mean I'd received the errors in output, I meant there is something wrong with the English in the messages (I'm translating them into Japanese) and I can't work out what they're trying to say.
I've just sat here trying to give my version of what I think they mean, but I gave up. I just can't work them out.

I think a grammatically correct version of these messages is this:
These errors refer to indexterm elements having start and end attributes.

Code: Select all
PDFX001W - No index entry was found which is closing the range at ID="%1".
PDFX002W - Multiple index entries were found which are starting the range at ID="%1" but only one index entry was found which is closing it, or the ranges are overlapping.
PDFX003W - Multiple index entries were found which are closing the range at ID="%1".
PDFX007W - No index entry was found which is opening the range at ID="%1".

Thanks again for the reply.
That makes sense. Looking at the messages again, it seems that the group prefixed with "PDF" were written by non-native English speaker, unlike the other messages.
