Name

itermset — A set of index terms in the meta-information of a document

Synopsis

itermset ::= indexterm db.indexterm.singular+

Description

When indexterms use the zone attribute to point to index ranges, it may be handy to hoist them out of the flow and put them in the document meta-information.

The itermset element, which occurs in the DocBook containers for meta-information, is one place to put them. An itermset is simply a wrapper around a group of indexterms.

Processing expectations

Suppressed.

Although more than one itermset may appear in the meta-information for a document, neither a relationship nor a specific facility for constructing a relationship is defined.
