Re: [docbook-apps] Indexterms with emphasis and citetitle elements

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi,
This requires a customization, although it would make a fine feature at 
some point as it has been requested before.

You'll need to customize the template in fo/autoidx.xsl that starts with:

<xsl:template match="indexterm" mode="index-primary">

In your customized version of the template, change

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

which just selects the text content of the <primary> element to:

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

which will apply templates to format the content of the element.

If you want secondary and tertiary entries to also get such formatting, 
you'll need to also customize

<xsl:template match="indexterm" mode="index-secondary">
<xsl:template match="indexterm" mode="index-tertiary">
