I'm adding index entries in the XML of a DITA topic and then using FM to output the file. Specifically I'm trying to get "see also" entries to sort to the top of the main index entry, but I can simplify my problem for descriptive purposes. I've read a good deal of literature concerning sorting index entries in FM and in the DITA 1.2 spec, and I have a good idea of how it <i>should</i> work. <br><br>Here's a simplified example. Working in FM, I have a file with a main index entry "FrameMaker" and a sub-entry "problems". I want "problems" to be the first sub-entry in a long list of sub-entries under "FrameMaker" (for obvious reason). I insert an <b>indexterm </b>element and enter the following in the Marker dialog: FrameMaker:problems[FrameMaker:aaa]. I quickly generate a standard index and everything looks great - the sub-entry is the first under "FrameMaker". I save and close the file. The XML looks like this ("[" substituted for "<"): <br><br>[indexterm]FrameMaker[indexterm]problems[index-sort-as]FrameMaker:aaa[/index-sort-as][/indexterm][/indexterm]<br><br>When I reopen the file in FM, the text for this <b>indexterm</b> in the dialog box reads: FrameMaker:problems[FrameMaker<b>\</b>:aaa]. Note the backslash inserted before the ":aaa" sorting. My sub-entry is no longer the first in the list of FrameMaker sub-entries. The XML looks the same throughout this process, of course.<br><br>Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, why FM is inserting this backslash, and/or how I can avoid having this backslash appear? It appears to be a bug, but maybe I'm missing something... Any help is greatly appreciated.<br><br>(A coworker of mine just filed this as a bug with Adobe.)<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Greg Williams<br>London, Ontario<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
