Can somebody please explain this?

.. index::
    single: formatting, string (%)
    single: interpolation, string (%)
    single: string; formatting
    single: string; interpolation
    single: printf-style formatting
    single: sprintf-style formatting
    single: % formatting
    single: % interpolation

Specifically, what does index mean?  What does single vs double vs triple mean? 
 Is there a reference somewhere I can read?

In restructured text (rst), the .. syntax starts a directive. There are a number of built-in directives, and there is the ability to extend the syntax with domain specific directives.

That must be the case here (since there doesn't appear to be a built-in directive named index), so we'll need more information about the source of your rst file before we can answer anything about that particular add on directive.
