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?
