No.  However, check out the collateindex.pl script in the stylesheets RPM.
It'll do the trick...

I don't know, but generating an index is multi-step process.
See http://nwalsh.com/docbook/dsssl/doc/otherdoc.html

LinuxDoc to DocBook package update

[Reuben Thomas]

I've now had to do some more conversions, so used my own package, and
hence found some problems (basically there were some stupid typos in the
script, sorry).

An updated package is now in place, and the web page has also had a hint
added (a new problem I came across this time).

Follow the "DocBook hints" link from my home page: http://sc3d.org/rrt/

Thank you... I was already playing with the collateindex.pl script... This
pointer to documentation on the process will help a lot!

Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit 
--------

	You have to do it in a two-pass process (for more information get the
docbook stylesheets documentation http://nwalsh.com/docbook/dsssl/db146d.zip ) :

	Run jade with the html-index variable set and the html stylesheet :
	jade -t sgml -d ...html/docbook.dsl -V html-index file.sgm

	generate the index pages with collateindex.pl (in the bin directory of the 
docbook stylesheets distribution) :
	perl collateindex.pl -o genindex.sgm

	Reprocess your document with jade
	jade -t sgml -d .../docbook.dsl file.sgm

	Your document must contain an external entity inclusion for the generated 
index :

	<...[
	<!ENTITY index	SYSTEM "genindex.sgm">
	]>
	...
	<!-- at a chapter/section level in your document -->
	&index;

Index creation

[Andreas Kostyrka]

Hi!

I've been wondering how to create an index with the current docbook tools?

Adding <indexterm>s doesn't work, even when one adds an empty
<index></index> section (as it is done with <toc></toc>).
