<para>
If non-zero, 
then an <tag>index</tag> element that has a
<tag class="attribute">type</tag> attribute
value will contain only those <tag>indexterm</tag>
elements with a matching <tag class="attribute">type</tag> attribute value.
If an <tag>index</tag> has no <tag class="attribute">type</tag>
attribute or it is blank, then the index will contain
all <tag>indexterm</tag>s in the current scope.
</para>

<para>
If <literal>index.on.type</literal> is zero, then the
<tag class="attribute">type</tag> attribute has no effect
on selecting indexterms for an index.
</para>

<para>For those using DocBook version 4.2 or earlier,
the <tag class="attribute">type</tag> attribute is not available
for index terms.  However, you can achieve the same
effect by using the <tag class="attribute">role</tag> attribute
in the same manner on <tag>indexterm</tag>
and <tag>index</tag>, and setting the stylesheet parameter 
<parameter>index.on.role</parameter> to a nonzero value.
