Description
A secondary contains a secondary word or phrase
in an indexterm. The text of a secondary term is less significant than
the primary term, but more significant than the
tertiary term for sorting and
display purposes.
In indexterms, you can only have one primary,
secondary, and tertiary term. If you want to index multiple secondary
terms for the same primary, you must repeat the primary in another
indexterm. You cannot place several
secondarys in the same primary.
