Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Font familiy of some automatically generated index-entries


If you look in fo/autoidx.xsl, the stylesheet module that handles
indexterms,
you will find this line:

<xsl:value-of select="primary"/>

Taking the value of an element returns just the text content of the element,
including those of its decendent elements.  I suspect this was done on
purpose to give the index a consistent look and to avoid complications
that might arise when elements are formatted. There are
elements that are allowed inside <primary> that would break the formatting
of an index.  For example, revhistory is allowed, but it generates a table.

If you want to change that behavior, you will need to customize several
templates in fo/autoidx.xsl. For example, replace the above line with:

<xsl:apply-templates select="primary/child::node()"/>

You have to do it this way because there is no template that matches
on <primary>.  You have to use child::node() instead of just *
so you process both text nodes and descendent element nodes.
You will need to do with for secondary and tertiary, and possibly
see and seealso entries.

It might make a nice feature request to have a parameter to select
which behavior you want.
