#### 14.8.2 Overriding formats for index entries and references

You do not need to assign formats to index-entry levels, except to override the default assignments. The default formats assigned to index-entry levels 1 through 9 are defined in system format configuration files.

To assign level-specific formats for compact index entries:

    [IndexEntryFormats]
    ; level number = format
    1 = Index1
    ...
    9 = Index9

To assign level-specific formats for full-title index references (not needed for the compact form):

    [IndexRefParaFormats]
    ; level number = format (used only for non-compact indexes)
    1 = IndexRef1
    ...
    9 = IndexRef9

See §14.8.4 Configuring index references.
