I'm writing some doc now, but it isn't ready yet.
The basic idea is to insert <indexterm> elements
in your doc to mark index points, and then add an
empty <index/> element at the end of your book.
The stylesheets will then automagically generate the
index at that location. Works for HTML and FO.
The current release (1.58.1) does not fold upper and lower
case words together during sorting, but the next release
will fix that.
You can learn about how to write indexterms in DocBook The
Definitive Guide:
