One possibility could be to use a macro for @item (I have not checked with TeX): @macro itemmyvar {expr} @item <\expr\> @end macro @vtable @var @itemmyvar my item body @item another item without < > body2 @end vtable @printindex vr But it is not the same as having an @-command in argument of @vtable in the resulting index, as the formatted index entry in @printindex will have < >, which would not have been the case with a @-command as @vtable argument. -- Pat
