Always great to hear the experts say one is on the right track.
There's one additional index-related anomoly that I encountered and fixed, that I'll mention now too. I have labeled list entries, and each is immediately followed by an indexterm[] macro call that essentially echos the contents of its proceeding list entry. This works well -- except when the list entry's string has hard brackets as part of its contents. Asciidoc (which of course uses hard brackets to delimit the indexterm macro) seemed to get confused. Escaping the close-bracket content character (as recommended in Users Guide #21, bullet 4) didn't work for me -- the escaped close-bracket didn't display, the index term didn't appear in the index, and any index term characters after the contained close-bracket, such as the close quote and "real" close-bracket later, ended up appended on the end of the list entry. Here's an example: Asciidoc lines: *ERR10* :: *Invalid IP address [<address 1>, <address 2>]* indexterm:["ERR10 Invalid IP address [<address 1>, <address 2>\]"] The Labelled list entry that actually appears in the PDF output: ERR10 Invalid IP address [<address 1>, <address 2>] "] I finally solved this by replacing the escaped close-bracket within the indexterm line (not in the list entry line) with the unicode rep ]. No backslash needed for that. Display of the content close-bracket is as expected, and the index term shows up properly later in the Index section.
