Hi Micki,

unfortunatly you can not use the id attribute for this purpose, because it=
=20
must be a unique id for a single element.  If you use the example machanism=
,=20
you have to define a name like "example_this_special_example". This was don=
e=20
to separate formal from informal examples (I wouldn't do this again). But I=
=20
don't think that this would be a good solution for indexterm.

A possible solution could be to put all the information into the title=20
attribute, e.g. title=3D"index_primary:Font Size".

Bye
  Michael
