Re: [docbook-apps] Continued lines in index

Hi Dick,
Yes, I did this for a client using the same mechanism that can be used for 
tables, as described in:

   http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/TableTemplateCust.html#TableContinuedLabel

You need to customize this template from fo/autoidx.xsl:

<xsl:template match="indexterm" mode="index-primary">

and put the content inside a single-cell fo:table, as described in that 
section. The method depends on the FO processor.  I don't think FOP supports 
the retrieve-table-marker property yet, though.  Sorry, I can't give you the 
code from that client.
