Re: [docbook-apps] Possible problem with typed indexes
I just tried to use the type facility with indexes for the first time, and I got a strange result.

I have indexterms with type="author" and indexterms with no type attribute. E.g.,

<indexterm type="author"><primary>Shakespeare, William</primary></indexterm>

I inserted two index tags, one with type="author" and one without. The one with author has a title. E.g.,

<index type="author"><title>Authors</title></index>
<index/>

I get two indexes, but they are identical except for the title. That is, all of the terms, regardless of type, are in both indexes. I expected to get one complete index and one index with only the terms that have type="author".

Has anyone else run into this? Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug in the stylesheets (I'm using 1.78.1).

Best regards,
Dick Hamilton
