Description
A tertiary
element contains a third-level word
or phrase in an indexterm
. The text of a
tertiary
term is less significant than the
primary
and secondary
terms for
sorting and display purposes.
DocBook does not define any additional levels. You cannot use
indexterm
s to construct indexes with more than three
levels without extending the schema.
In indexterm
s, you can only have one primary,
secondary, and tertiary term. If you want to index multiple tertiary
terms for the same primary and secondary, you must repeat the primary
and secondary in another indexterm
. You cannot place
several tertiary
s in the same primary.
Processing expectations
Suppressed. This element provides data for processing but is not rendered in the primary flow of text.
Attributes
