When adding keywords, follow these guidelines:
nA topic should have a title footnote assigned before you assign it keywords.
nIndex keywords can include any ANSI character, including punctuation (except semicolons) and accented characters. You can use spaces between words to create a keyword phrase. For example, you could make “PLACEHOLDER” a single index keyword as follows:
K keyword phrase; keyword; keyword
nHelp ignores any formatting assigned to keywords (such as bold or underline).
nThe keyword search handles uppercase and lowercase letters the same—for example, “PLACEHOLDER” is the same as “placeholder.”
nA keyword footnote can have as many as 1023 characters. If your keyword list exceeds that limit, you can use additional K footnotes within the same topic. For example, you might have three keyword footnotes in a topic:
K keyword phrase; keyword;keyword
K keyword phrase; keyword;keyword
K keyword phrase; keyword;keyword
