More Elegant Indexing Solution

[Ridder, Fred]

Character formatting that is specified with a building block at the 
end of an individual index marker affects only the page number 
that corresponds to that particular marker. Note that you can use
any named character format, not just the predefined Emphasis 
tag, so you can make the semantics of the page number emphasis 
as complex as you need to.

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

Hi,

Just curious: Does this also work when the emphasis page is
the first of the two? Will both of the two page numbers have
emphasis assigned or only the first one?

Best regards

Winfried
