Package: dblatex
Version: 0.3-2
<indexterm> entries starting with a number show up in the index under a
rather strange "_" heading. Can this be changed to be more like the
docbook-xsl apprach, where the same entry show up under and 'Symbols'
heading in the index?
Here is an example document demonstrating the problem.
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.5//EN"
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd";>
<!--
Demonstrate problem with non-alphabetic indexterm entries in dblatex.
The '60 Minutes' entry is placed under an "_" heading, which is rather
strange. docbook-xsl places it under an 'Symbols' heading, which is
strange too, but a bit better looking than the dblatex approach.

Hi Petter,
shortly after opening your BTS report Benoît Guillon (the dblatex
upstream author) has noticed it and sent me an answer how to handle your
requirement. Sorry for the delay, this is my fault.
The idea is to call dblatex with an index style file crafted
appropriately [1]:
$ dblatex --indexstyle=mydoc.ist number-indexterm.xml
BTW, Benoît suggests to report this kind of
observations/requests/questions on the dblatex user mailing list [2]
instead of the Debian BTS.

%%
%% This is file `Letter.ist',
%%
%% The idea is from Ingo Kloeckl, Latex2e:
%% Herbert Voss 000726
%%
%% This is a MAKEINDEX style file which should be used to
%% generate the formatted change history for use with the doc
%% package. The TeX commands used below are defined in
%% doc.sty. The commands for MAKEINDEX like `level'
%% `item_x1' are described in `` Makeindex, A General
%% Purpose, Formatter-Independent Index Processor'' by
%% Pehong Chen.
%%
headings_flag 1 % headings yes
heading_prefix "\\textbf{" % boldfont
heading_suffix "}\n" % newline
symhead_positive "Symbols"
%% preamble
%% "\\begin{theindex}\n"
%% item_1
%% "\\par\\leavevmode\\hangindent10pt\\makebox[10pt][l]{--}"
%% item_01
%% "\\par\\leavevmode\\hangindent10pt\\makebox[10pt][l]{--}"
%% item_x1
%% "\\par\\leavevmode\\hangindent10pt\\makebox[10pt][l]{--}"
%% item_2
%% "\\par\\leavevmode\\hangindent20pt\\makebox[20pt][l]{-- -- }"
%% item_12
%% "\\par\\leavevmode\\hangindent20pt\\makebox[20pt][l]{-- -- }"
%% item_x2
%% "\\par\\leavevmode\\hangindent20pt\\makebox[20pt][l]{-- -- }"
%%
%%
%% End of file `Letter.ist'.
