Security  Because content that is formatted as hidden text can easily be made visible, do not use hidden text formatting to keep sensitive information private.

ShowInstructions

"Text"
Text you want to appear in the index. To indicate a subentry, include the main entry text and the subentry text, separated by a colon (:).

ShowSwitches

\b
Applies bold formatting to the entry's page number. The field { XE "Highlighting text" \b } displays the entry as "Highlighting text, 23" in the index. The switch removes bold formatting if the index style for the entry is bold.
\f "Type"
Defines an entry type. The entry for the field { XE "Selecting Text" \f "a" } is included only in an index inserted by the field { INDEX \f "a" }. The default entry type is "i."
\i
Makes the entry's page number italic. The field { XE "Finding text" \i } displays the entry as "Finding text, 23 " in the index. The switch removes the italic formatting if the index style for the entry is italic.
\r Bookmark
Inserts as the entry's page number the range of pages marked by the specified bookmark. The field { XE "Selecting text" \r SelectingText } displays the entry as "Selecting text, 20–25" in the index.
\t "Text"
Inserts the text in place of a page number. Enclose the text in quotation marks. The field { XE "Highlighting" \t "See Selecting" } displays the entry "Highlighting, See Selecting" in the index.
\y
Specifies that the subsequent text defines the yomi (first phonetic character for sorting indexes) for the index entry.

Note  This switch can be used if you have at least one East Asian language enabled.
