It's a long-standing and well-documented bug that manual line breaks are
not permitted in markers. But the problems that are usually reported are
much more drastic than what you have been seeing (things like
application crashes when generating/updating an index). But because it's
hard to see in the marker window if/when there is a line break present,
this is yet another strong argument in favor of using a marker interface
enhancement like IXgen (my tool of choice) or IndexTools. Any of these
tools make line breaks much more obvious than the standard marker
dialog.

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

>And FrameMaker was no longer confused.
