+Index-generating markup
+-----------------------
+
+Sphinx automatically creates index entries from all object descriptions (like
+functions, classes or attributes) like discussed in :ref:`domains`.
+
+However, there is also explicit markup available, to make the index more
+comprehensive and enable index entries in documents where information is not
+mainly contained in information units, such as the language reference.
+
+.. rst:directive:: .. index:: <entries>
+
+ This directive contains one or more index entries. Each entry consists of a
+ type and a value, separated by a colon.
+
+ For example::
+
+ .. index::
+ single: execution; context
+ module: __main__
+ module: sys
+ triple: module; search; path
+
+ The execution context
+ ---------------------
+
+ ...
+
+ This directive contains five entries, which will be converted to entries in
+ the generated index which link to the exact location of the index statement
+ (or, in case of offline media, the corresponding page number).
+
+ Since index directives generate cross-reference targets at their location in
+ the source, it makes sense to put them *before* the thing they refer to --
+ e.g. a heading, as in the example above.
+
+ The possible entry types are:
+
+ single
+ Creates a single index entry. Can be made a subentry by separating the
+ subentry text with a semicolon (this notation is also used below to
+ describe what entries are created).
+ pair
+ ``pair: loop; statement`` is a shortcut that creates two index entries,
+ namely ``loop; statement`` and ``statement; loop``.
+ triple
+ Likewise, ``triple: module; search; path`` is a shortcut that creates
+ three index entries, which are ``module; search path``, ``search; path,
+ module`` and ``path; module search``.
+ module, keyword, operator, object, exception, statement, builtin
+ These all create two index entries. For example, ``module: hashlib``
+ creates the entries ``module; hashlib`` and ``hashlib; module``. (These
+ are Python-specific and therefore deprecated.)
+
+ For index directives containing only "single" entries, there is a shorthand
+ notation::
+
+ .. index:: BNF, grammar, syntax, notation
+
+ This creates four index entries.
+
+.. rst:role:: index
+
+ While the :rst:dir:`index` directive is a block-level markup and links to the
+ beginning of the next paragraph, there is also a corresponding role that sets
+ the link target directly where it is used.
+
+ The content of the role can be a simple phrase, which is then kept in the
+ text and used as an index entry. It can also be a combination of text and
+ index entry, styled like with explicit targets of cross-references. In that
+ case, the "target" part can be a full entry as described for the directive
+ above. For example::
+
+ This is a normal reST :index:`paragraph` that contains several
+ :index:`index entries <pair: index; entry>`.
