Thanks Bob:
I appreciate this - will look forward to seeing this a built in feature in the future.

Hi,

This requires a customization, although it would make a fine feature at some point as it has been requested before.

You'll need to customize the template in fo/autoidx.xsl that starts with:

<xsl:template match="indexterm" mode="index-primary">

In your customized version of the template, change

  <xsl:value-of select="primary"/>

which just selects the text content of the <primary> element to:

  <xsl:apply-templates select="primary/node()"/>

which will apply templates to format the content of the element.

If you want secondary and tertiary entries to also get such formatting, you'll need to also customize

<xsl:template match="indexterm" mode="index-secondary">

<xsl:template match="indexterm" mode="index-tertiary">

Would like this to work.
