#### 16.5.1 Understanding how DITA2Go creates Help index entries

DITA2Go processes DITA index elements to create the index for a Help system.

For HTML-based Help, DITA2Go usually builds the index, so you can customize several aspects of index organization.

For WinHelp, Microsoft Help Workshop always builds the index, so there is little DITA2Go can do to customize it.
