Tagging tools allow indexing codes to be embedded in the
electronic text after the indexing is complete. The
publisher or the indexer inserts numbered dummy tags in the
files, and then builds the index separately. The final step
uses macros to insert the indexing at each tag in the
files. Many of these tools are developed in-house to fit
the publishing group's needs.
