Description

A SetIndex contains the formatted index of a complete Set of Books. An index may begin with introductory material, followed by any number of IndexEntrys or IndexDivs.

Processing expectations

Formatted as a displayed block. An Index in a Set usually causes a forced page break in print media.

In many processing systems, indexes are generated automatically or semiautomatically and never appear instantiated as DocBook markup.

Parents

These elements contain setindex: book, set.
