<index-base>
The <index-base>
element allows indexing extensions to be added by
specializing this element.
The <index-base>
element can only exist as a child of an
<indexterm>
element. This characteristic makes it the appropriate
element to specialize to add indexing extensions. For example, the <index-see>
, <index-see-also>
, and <index-sort-as>
elements only make
sense as children of <indexterm>
and so are specializations of
<index-base>
. Those elements are all part of the indexing domain.
On its own, <index-base>
has no meaning. Processors should ignore this
element and its content if encountered in its unspecialized form.
See appendix for information about this element in OASIS document type shells.

The <index-see-also>

can be used with specialization.
