13.8.1.5 Correcting or suppressing links in <$nopage> index entries

A FrameMaker-generated index includes, for every <$nopage> entry, a link to the original marker location in the document. IndexRef, a FrameMaker plug-in available from Sundorne Communications, can change the links for <$nopage> See and See also entries in FrameMaker, so the links point to the referenced index entries instead. See:

http://www.sundorne.com/FrameMaker/IndexRef/indexref.htm

If you do not use IndexRef, to prevent links for <$nopage> entries from showing up in HTML output, assign the NoHref property to Level*IX paragraph formats. For example:

[HTMLParaStyles]

; NoHref suppresses <a href=...> tags in para formats

Level1IX=NoHref

Level2IX=NoHref

[HTMLCharStyles]

zIXpgnum= KeepLink CodeReplace

NoHref omits links for See and See also entries when you assign KeepLink to the page-number character format; KeepLink overrides NoHref for the real page numbers.

Note:  Unless you either use IndexRef or assign NoHref to Level*IX paragraph formats, the initial text of each <$nopage> entry becomes a link to the location of the <$nopage> marker in your document, not to the referenced See or See also entry in the index.
