Hi Emily If you place the <indexterm><primary>defaultComposition<primary><indexterm> in the docbook xml file User Guide it will generate an index similiar to what like the following:
defaultComposition, User Guide This will require searching through the text for the specific point at which to insert the <indexterm/>. Beware of white space - especially in long paragraphs. I usually place the indexterms exactly where they will be placed. However, if there are several to added to a paragraph - for ease of reading I place them at the start of the paragraph - moving them into place in one of the final checks. Happy indexing!
