Oxygen XML Forum

The index-see element doesn't produce the desired results. What am I doing wrong?

Here is my prolog xml:

<prolog>
<metadata>
<keywords>
<indexterm>TDS<index-see>Temporal Data Store</index-see></indexterm>
<indexterm>Temporal Data Store </indexterm>
<indexterm>data storage</indexterm>
<indexterm>HAS<index-see>High Availability Store</index-see></indexterm>
<indexterm>High Availability Store</indexterm>
</keywords>
</metadata>
</prolog>

From the above I expected to see the following in the index:

TDS
see Temporal Data Store
Temporal Data Store [1]

HAS
see High Availability Store
High Availability Store [1]

However, this is what I see in the index:

TDS [1]
Temporal Data Store [1]

HAS [1]
High Availability Store [1]

Hello,

You are doing nothing wrong. The index elements added in DITA 1.2 like index-see and index-see-also are not supported yet in the Webhelp transformation, but we plan to add this support in a future version. We will let you know when we will add it.

Hi, In Oxygen XML Editor 24.1, I'm seeing the same problem in my Webhelp output. Has support been added for index-see?

Hello,

We already have an issue on our internal issue tracker for it and I have added your vote for it. We will let you know when it will be implemented.

Hi,
can you please add my vote?
Is it possible that the behavior has changed in 24.1 compared to version 20? From this, I now get the following output: Is there a (short) way to exclude these indexterms from the WebHelp output while keeping them in the CSS-based PDF?
Kind regards
Susanne

Hi,

Sure, I have added your vote to this issue.
However, we have tested the behavior you have indicated on both versions v20 and v24.1 and we could not reproduce it. As a customization might generate this result, could you please try with the default transformation scenario and check if the problem persists.
