multi-column index does not work for DB5/1.73.2Actually, the statement should be that the column.count.index parameter does not seem to work when an index appears inside an article. It works when an index appears inside a book. That's because an article is a single page-sequence, using the body page-master. There is no way for it to switch to a new page master with two columns within a single page master. I'll add that to the next edition, and to the parameter doc.
Regarding the XEP index features, I find in XEP versions 1.45 and 1.49 that the page sequences are collapsed. Here are some examples from your (extended) document: N nine, 1-3 nineteen, 1-2, 4 ntwo, 1, 3-4 What results are you getting?

Bob, your book, 4th. edit., p. 323 (really a point for RenderX) I find that XEP does remove duplicates, but does *not* collapse sequences - duplicate the literallayout stuff below to see this (not dependent on literallayout): A athirteen, 2, 3 atwentyone, 1, 2, 3 B bfourteen, 2, 3 btwentytwo, 1, 2, 3 Ron <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE article> <article xml:id="LL" xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook";
