  • 1.  Indexterms with emphasis and citetitle elements

    Posted 01-09-2016 13:02
    When generating an index using 1.79.0 the <emphasis/> and <citetitle/>
    elements do not produce any italicized text in an index generated in pdf,
    or xhtml.
    Would like this to work.

    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">

    Thanks Bob:
    I appreciate this - will look forward to seeing this a built in feature in
    the future.
