Which, now that I think about it, does not really answer the question. We use <indexterm> to mark out terms. For example: <indexterm> <primary>TrueType Fonts</primary> </indexterm> <indexterm> <primary>fonts</primary> <secondary>TrueType</secondary> </indexterm> This creates two entries in the index: fonts TrueType fonts, (link) ... TrueType fonts, (link) The index is built by the toolchain, so that procedure depends on the platform and toolchain being used.
