From the DB 5 documentation for <footnote> (http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/footnote.html): indexterm must not occur in the descendants of footnote So this is exactly the opposite of what you're describing above for DB4: according to the DB5 documentation, <indexterm>s are allowed as immediate children of <footnote>, but *not* as children of descendents of <footnote>. Hence the RFE. Mike Maxwell
