Specialized Indexes in Asciidoc to Docbook backend

mojavelinux wrote

Brian,

The index term macro is not currently extensible, meaning it does not
support arbitrary attributes (like an image, for example).

The best way to approach this would be to create a custom inline macro
using the Asciidoctor extension mechanism. You can return any string you
want from the process method of an inline macro, so you can create any
DocBook output you want.

You can find examples of inline macros in the extensions lab.

Cheers,
