Re: [Dblatex-devel] [ dblatex-Bugs-2818211 ] index generated from wrong tags

[ben.guillon <ben...@gm...>]

Stefan,

First, creating an index from indexterms is not "wrong" ;-), the TDG  
explicitely says that index can be processed automatically from indexterms.

Second, using an XML index has some disavantages since you must build it  
 from scratch instead of letting tex do the work for you. More importantly  
i don't see how to mimic the tex index from an XML index. I'll investigate  
that but i'd suggest you override the indexterm template as a simpler  
solution if the goal is to translate a primary text to another.

What do you think?

Regards,
BG
