Re: [docbook-apps] Rendering of index points in footnotes

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Yes, that's possible, but exactly how it is done depends on which XSL-FO 
processor you are using.  If you are using FOP, then you can customize 
the template in fo/autoidx.xsl that starts with:

<xsl:template match="indexterm" mode="reference">

At the point where it generates the fo:page-number-citation you could 
add a test for footnote ancestry:

 <fo:page-number-citation ref-id="{$id}"/>
 <xsl:if test="ancestor::footnote">
   <xsl:text>f</xsl:text>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="ancestor::footnote[1]" 
mode="footnote.number"/>
 </xsl:if>

This will generate the page number, the letter "f" as a separator, and 
the number of the footnote.  (add d: if you are using the namespaced 
stylesheets).

Regarding page ranges, FOP cannot collapse a sequence of page numbers 
into a range.  XEP can do that.  With FOP, you can generate a range 
using a special pair of indexterms to mark the start and end of range:

<indexterm id="mystart" 
class="startofrange"><primary>foo</primary></indexterm>
...
<indexterm startref="mystart" class="endofrange"/><!-- empty element -->
