Understand index markers in Adobe FrameMaker.
In a typical index, entries are generated from markers and are sorted alphabetically. Entries with the same text are merged into a single entry with several page references. You can add special building blocks to marker text to control the form of the index entry—for example, to specify that it’s a sub-entry or a cross-reference to another entry.

You can also create specialized indexes by using predefined marker types such as Subject or Author, or by using other marker types that you create.
