Re: [docbook-apps] why does xsltproc create drafts from DocBook XML?

["Bob Stayton" <bobs at sagehill dot net>]

Indexing all occurances of a word in the text of a document
is not a feature of the DocBook stylesheets.  It would require
the XSLT templates to parse every text node in the designated
zone, wrap each occurance of the word in a fo:inline
with a unique id attribute, and then customize the index
generating templates to add references for those ids.
It doesn't sound too easy.

You might consider a preprocessor filter to insert
<indexterm> elements for each occurance in the
file before you hand it to the stylesheets.
