FM 9 p230 - 3 Level Indexing Error

[Scott Prentice]

Oh geez. Sorry .. I guess I'm a little DITA-centric these days.  :o

For some reason I though you were referring to a problem with the 
handling of index entries in DITA (although your original email 
certainly doesn't imply that at all). If this is really a fundamental 
issue with nested books and multi-level index entries, this won't help.

Again .. very sorry for the noise. I really need to make a point to 
carefully read emails before replying.  :(
