If it is a one-time conversion, it might be worthwhile just replacing the index terms with something temporary, getting to the org-file, and then putting them back in the right way. For example, you could replace each term with a uuid, and keep a list that maps the uuid to the term. Then the uuid would pass through the pandoc untouched, and afterwards, go back through and replace the uuid with the #+INDEX entries.
I don't know if that is worth the effort, but it might get you a faster org-doc than bug reporting :) John ----------------------------------- Professor John Kitchin Doherty Hall A207F Department of Chemical Engineering Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 412-268-7803 @johnkitchin http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu On Mon, Feb 19, 2018 at 11:54 AM, Diego Zamboni <di...@zzamboni.org> wrote: > Hi, > > I have a large document (a book) written in AsciiDoc, and I’ve been > thinking of converting it to org-mode, which I find eminently more > readable.
