Note that this editor does not allow to modify indexterm elements which are invalid, inconsistent or simply too complex. In such case, you'll have to revert using the normal editing tool (Edit tool, Attributes tool, etc) in order to modify such indexterm elements. However, this indexterm editor is sufficiently powerful to fulfill the vast majority of needs.
We'll explain with examples how to use the indexterm editor.
