Reply to: Indexing problems in PDF output with XMetaL 7.0.0.111
February 4, 2013 at 6:07 pmWith the files that were sent to XMetaL Support we found that to be the case. The DITA OT treats spaces at the start of an indexterm as significant for PDF output and sorts them at the top. Removing the spaces and then turning off pretty printing should resolve that (unless 3rd party software like a CMS is involved, in which case it might add white-space as well).
The other issue seems to be due to the fact that the OT doesn't handle the @start and @end (indexterm range) attributes well (at least for PDF).
