Re: [docbook-apps] plea for help with index generation

Here's a simple example. See if this works with your setup.

There are some places were jadetex can't cope with index entries:
notably if the indexterm is in a cell in a table. There may be one or
two other similar cases where it won't work if the indexterm is nested
in some fairly deep structure.

You'll need to run pdfjadetex three times so ensure that all forward and
backward references are resolved.


Good luck!

Ian.
