+ Load the script file (usually index.idx) and process it one line at a time,
+ producing one or more index term per (non-comment) line.
+ </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+ Reading all lines builds a list of <span class="emphasis"><em>terms to index</em></span>.
+ Some of those may be terms defined (by you) directly in the script file,
+ others may be terms found by scanning C++ header and source files that
+ were specified by the <span class="emphasis"><em>!scan-path</em></span> directive.
+ </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+ Once the complete list of <span class="emphasis"><em>terms to index</em></span> is complete,
+ it loads the Docbook XML file. (If this comes from Quickbook/Doxygen/Boostbook/Docbook
+ then this is the complete documentation after conversion to Docbook format).
+ </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+ AutoIndex builds an internal <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Object_Model" target="_top">Document
+ Object Model (DOM)</a> of the Docbook XML. This internal representation
+ then gets scanned for occurrences of the <span class="emphasis"><em>terms to index</em></span>.
+ This scanning works at the XML paragraph level (or equivalent sibling such
+ as a table or code block) - so all the XML encoding within a paragraph
+ gets flattened to plain text.<br> This flattening means the regular expressions
+ used to search for <span class="emphasis"><em>terms to index</em></span> can find anything
+ that is completely contained within a paragraph (or code block etc).
+ </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+ For each term found then an <span class="emphasis"><em>indexterm</em></span> Docbook element
+ is inserted into the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Object_Model" target="_top">Document
+ Object Model (DOM)</a> (provided internal index generation is off),
+ </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+ Also the AutoIndex's internal index representation gets updated.
+ </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+ Once the whole XML document has been indexed, then, if AutoIndex has been
+ instructed to generate the index itself, it creates the necessary XML and
+ inserts this into the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Object_Model" target="_top">Document
+ Object Model (DOM)</a>.
+ </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+ Finally the whole <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Object_Model" target="_top">Document
+ Object Model (DOM)</a> is written out as a new Docbook XML file, and
+ normal processing of this continues via the XSL stylesheets (with xsltproc)
+ to actually build the final human-readable docs.
