Re: [docbook-apps] Possible problem with typed indexes

[Richard Hamilton <hamilton@xmlpress.net>]

Hi Dave,

Thanks, that did it. I should have noticed that option when I was looking at Bob's book; it's right there at the top of that section:-).

And, yes, I know that the specialized terms appear in the general index, and that's fine.

Best regards,
Richard
