Hi Emily
If you place the <indexterm><primary>defaultComposition<primary><indexterm> in the docbook xml file User Guide it will generate an index similiar to what like the following:
defaultComposition, User Guide
This will require searching through the text for the specific point at which to insert the <indexterm/>.
Beware of white space - especially in long paragraphs.
I usually place the indexterms exactly where they will be placed.
However, if there are several to added to a paragraph - for ease of reading I place them at the start of the paragraph - moving them into place in one of the final checks.
Happy indexing!

Not sure if this is the correct list, but I’ve tried another one I thought I had subscribed to.
In process of converting our word documents into docbooks. I’m very new at this and been printing information and going through documentation on the website.
Scenario:
I have 5 different documents that converting. Each one will be their own book. I know how to create the index for each book.
However, I will be combining them into a set so that it will be easier for our members to have one large set of books instead of 5 different books.
I can create the set index and it shows, but my question is:
How do I get each indexed item to reflect the book it is in.
The Set Index shows the following:
Set Index:
D
defaultComposition, 3
F
Fluid Network, 11
FluidPorts, 2
U
Unique variable attributes,3
There are 2 different books, but I don’t know which book the index item points to and that is what we are trying to get to. For example, I would like for the indexed item defaultComposition to show User Guide and maybe the FluidPorts to show the Thermo
Guide.
Is there a way?
Thanks much for your help.
Thank you,
