Indexing
You can import and export QuarkXPress index tags in XPress Tags format. Text might be
tagged by writers or indexers using a word processing application, and then imported into
QuarkXPress for layout purposes. Alternatively, text might be exported from QuarkXPress
with index tags for editing.

The XPress Tags for indexing let you insert index markers at the text insertion point or
specify ranges of text to be indexed.
•
Insert an index marker at the insertion point: <XI,Tag Info>
•
Indicate the start of an indexed range of text: <XO>
•
Indicate the end of an indexed range of text: <XC,Tag Info>
