Index: Colon must *display* instead of making new level

Post by EileenP »

I have a giant help project that has just been translated to Finnish, a language in which a colon often forms part of a word in the same way an apostrophe does in English.

So now I have an index full of instances where the colon has created a new index level instead of displaying as an actual colon.

How can I edit these index posts so that some of the colons actually display as colons? I tried replacing the colon with the HTML number : but that did not work.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I think you just need to "escape" the colon by putting a \ in front of it. I'm going on memory, though. Would have to test this...

Backslash worked! Thank you so much, Nita!
