BD>index : C=E tex2html_wrap_inline33794 , E tex2html_wrap_inline33798 , E tex2html_wrap_inline35146 tex2html_wrap_inline33712

The syntax for the INDEX:  command is similar to the syntax for the FOR:  command, except that the arguments must be non-negative and the index C is a single alphabetic character. The command is used to vary the indices of quantities referenced in COBUILD:  and ITADJUST:  commands. An index can be overwritten - if an error occurs during re-definition, the former value is retained. The values used for indices should round to positive integers no larger than 32767. Index definitions can be deleted with the XINDEX:  command.
