Re: [xep-support] creating index with XEP extensions

Each <indexterm> has to output an fo element with an id attribute at the
location where the indexterm occurs in the document. The id is the target
of the index reference. It is likely that there are situations in your
stylesheet where the indexterm is not outputting its anchor for some reason.
Perhaps indexterm in certain element templates is not reached, or a template
handles certain children but not others. You are getting an entry in the
index itself because the stylesheet is probably using a global path to
collect them, such as //indexterm.

This problem just came up on the docbook-apps mailing list because an
indexterm in a sectioninfo element was not outputting its id element.
