Re: [docbook-apps] olinking to varlistentry with indexterm inside term

[Robert Pasternak <rp.info@gmail.com>]

The above fix works only if the indexterm element appears after the
term name, i.e.:

     <varlistentry xml:id="border-color">
       <term>border-color
         <indexterm xml:id="id8856773342938128">
           <primary>themes</primary>
           <secondary>border style properties</secondary>
           <tertiary>border-color</tertiary>
         </indexterm></term>
       <listitem>
         <para>Specifies the color of all four borders of an element.</para>
       </listitem>
     </varlistentry>

It does not work if the indexterm element appears before the term name:

     <varlistentry xml:id="border-color">
       <term>
         <indexterm xml:id="id8856773342938128">
           <primary>themes</primary>
           <secondary>border style properties</secondary>
           <tertiary>border-color</tertiary>
         </indexterm>border-color</term>
       <listitem>
         <para>Specifies the color of all four borders of an element.</para>
       </listitem>
     </varlistentry>
