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.
