Thanks for your input, David! I think I made your suggested changes
correctly, but my output hasn't changed. The indexterm element still
doesn't appear in my output XML doc.
My updated XSL stylesheet is as follows:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/topic">
<xsl:copy>
<prolog>
<metadata>
<keywords>
<xsl:copy-of
select="title/indexterm"/>
</keywords>
</metadata>
</prolog>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="indexterm"/>
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Regards,
Mark

you have two templates matching
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
which is an errror (even though they are the same template) a system may
ignore the first or it may stop and reject the stylesheet.
<xsl:copy-of select="/title/indexterm"/>
This copies nothing, you meant
<xsl:copy-of select="title/indexterm"/>
ie the indexterm grandchild of the current node (topic).
/title would select the title child element of teh root but there is no
such element, the element of / is topic.

that's easy
<keywords>
<xsl:copy-of select="title/indexterm"/>
</keywords>
