With your instructions I can now generate a document with an index. Thanks.
However, I have one hitch. How do I generate an index with an entry that has an “@“ symbol in it?
For example
#+index: @ terms
I’ve tried \@ and \verb{@} and several other ideas but once there is an @ sign, no entry shows up. If I have “terms” instead of “@ terms” it works fine. The @ sign shows up OK in the body of the document, just not in an index.
Any suggestions?
