#Introduction

It is often useful to have one or more {#keyword indexes#kwindex.html#} for a
large suites of pages. MTX will build these indexes for you automatically. All
you have to do is provide a properly formatted list of words and phrases to be
indexed.

#Keyword Layout

Use the keyword switch with the "%LAYOUT" tag to indicate that the page is an
index:

=  %LAYOUT keyword

The noindex or cover switch excludes the page from indexing:

=  %LAYOUT noindex

#Keyword Tag

Each index entry should be proceeded by the backslash (\) tag as the first
character on the line. Synonyms can be delimited by subsequent tags on the same
line:

=  \Hypertext Markup Language\HTML

The entry will be listed by the first term on the line. The synonyms are not
listed. Note that index terms can appear anywhere on the page and do not have to
be in alphabetical order.

#Limitations

The MTX indexing capability is functional but far from perfect. Here is a list of
known limitations:

	Cannot distinguish whole from partial words (the vs there vs their)
	Cannot match phrases that span more than one line
	Cannot match double quote ("), greater than (>), or less than (<) characters
