An Index contains the formatted index of a document.
An index may begin with introductory material, followed by
any number of IndexEntrys or IndexDivs.
Formatted as a displayed block. An Index in a Book
frequently causes a forced page break in print media.
In many processing systems, indexes are generated automatically or semiautomatically and never appear instantiated as DocBook markup.
Formal objects and other elements inappropriate for an index will be
removed from the content that can appear before the first
IndexDiv or IndexEntry.
These elements contain index:
appendix, article, book, chapter, part, preface, sect1, sect2, sect3, sect4, sect5, section.
