+To aid in navigating an Index, use nested lists to enclose alphabetically (and/or numerically) related entries. Many indexes include the number or letter as a heading. You can add these to the lists as top level entries, and the items nests underneath, or has subheadings under the top heading for the Index.
 The use of lists is recommended as it simplifies navigation by users of assistive technologies. Not only does it speed up the movement through entries, but the position within the list can be announced, allowing the reader to quickly return to the same spot again later, if needed.
-====Page Numbering and Producer's Notes====
+<note tip>Use the original ebook to help you figure out what sections need to be nested.</note>
-If we do not keep the original print pagination (which is most always the case), page numbers in the index will not be accurate. In this case, we retain the print page numbers listed in the index but add a producer's note both at the beginning of the book as a Heading 1 and within the Index section using the **Prodnote - Optional (DAISY) style**.

-For the convenience of the reader, we also place a producer's note in the Index section, following the Index heading. Use the **Prodnote - Optional (DAISY)** style. See [[producers-note#in-textproducer_s_note|in-text Producer's Note]].

-If requested by the user, NNELS will retain print pagination. If the correct page breaks are applied, then the page numbers in the index should be accurate.

+====Q&A Archive====
-====Tips====
+Q: In Cosmic Queries, the index includes a note that page numbers in bold refer to images. Should I apply strong formatting to the relevant page numbers or leave without formatting. I figure that the formatting here does provide additional meaning (that the references are to images), however, I wasn't sure if this was relevant in the case of an index.
-Double check that the index is in the correct order. Sometimes a two column index will turn into one column during the conversion process.
+A: In this case you can keep the bold. Don't forget to include the Producer's Note about Indexes!
-==== Q & A ====
+----
-**Q: In an index with "see also" subheadings, should the "see also" entries be indented? If so, should this be done with a new Style like "normal + hanging indents"?**
-A: It depends on the original. If the original text uses an indent to separate "see also" entries, then we can follow their convention. In this case we would do exactly what you say - create a new style based on the Normal one with a hanging indent.
-It's rare that we do create a new style, but when we do we can try to give the style a name that would be understandable to our reader, so that they can understand what this style is used for (Normal + Hanging indents works :).
 **Q: When editing Indexes should the letter headings of each section be set to Normal or Heading 2?**
 A: We set them to Normal. There's no real need to make the letters navigational points in the document since we don't link our indexes. You can make the letter headings stand out by applying the Strong style to it (you may need to modify the Strong style).
