Tag Minimization

The start-tag is required for this element. The end-tag is optional, if your SGML declaration allows minimization.

Description

PrimaryIE identifies the most significant word or words in an IndexEntry. IndexEntrys occur in an Index, not in the flow of the text. They are part of a formatted index, not markers for indexing.

If a document includes both IndexTerms and IndexEntrys, the IndexEntrys are usually constructed from the IndexTerms by some external process.

Processing expectations

Formatted as a displayed block. The PrimaryIE starts a new entry in the Index.

Future Changes

The InterfaceDefinition element will be discarded in DocBook V4.0. It will no longer be available in the content model of this element.
