linking marker types and index text formats

["Banttari, Ananda" <Ananda_Banttari@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi all, it's indexing time again...

I have three basic marker types: call them Subject, Title, 
and Index for now. Suppose I want to combine the three 
into one index. I want to have all the Author marker text 
in Bold format, all the Title marker text in Italic format, 
and the index text in "normal" format. I want all of the 
page numbers to be in the same format. As an example, 
with *xxx* denoting Bold and _xxx_ denoting Italic:

*Author Name*
    biography
        birth
    *Co-author Name*
    _Famous Title_ 
        _chapter title_
        movie
        novel
        play
...
_Famous Title_
    authors
        *Author Name*
        *Co-author Name*
    _chapter title_
    movie
    novel
    play

<end example>

Is there a way to do this more automatically (i.e., using a 
reference page entry?) than the method of using
<CharFormat>index text<Default Para Font> 
in each and every entry???

On the reference page, preceding <$pagenum> with <CharFormat>
puts the index entries' page numbers in <CharFormat>. I have 
not been able to figure out how to do something similar with the 
index entries' text. 


Thanks,
