Here’s the rule on index entries: They can’t have any TeX/LaTeX commands in 
them, because of how the indexing software sorts them. The indexing package 
provides a workaround – you can create an index item with

Text with no commands for indexing@Text with commands for display.

E.g.,

\index{decoupled MPI activities@decoupled \MPI/ activities}

Unfortunately, I didn’t make the \mpiterm etc. macros fancy enough to do this 
decoding. So Howard is correct – the longer form with separate mpitermni and 
mpitermindex is the correct solution.

I could add a macro to make this a little easier – e.g.,

\mpitermsp{index key for sorting}{index name for display}

(sp for special); e.g.,

\mpitermsp{decoupled MPI activities}{decoupled \MPI/ activities}

This would only work for one level index entries, but that is most of them.

Subject: [Mpi-forum] Question about MPI activities text in in mpi-4.x branch
Hi,

So I’m reviewing dynamic process chapter in preparation for the RC meeting.

I’m noticing some funny text


decoupled MPI activities@decoupled MPI activities

scattered throughout the text.

It looks like this is at least partially associated with e9cba2e0.

It appears to me that what we are actually wanting to use is this?

\mpitermni{decoupled \MPI/ activities}\mpitermindex{decoupled MPI 
activities@decoupled \MPI/ activities}

as opposed to this

\mpiterm{decoupled MPI activities@decoupled \MPI/ activities}

?

If we agreed to have funny text with activities@decoupled scattered around then 
that’s that and I’ll not make a change in the dynamic process chapter.

Howard
