While this is an interesting possibility, I cannot use it. I should have
indicated that the <indexterm> element inside the <title> is optional.
Consider my first attempt:

<xsl:template match="title>
   <xsl:element name="topic-title">
       <xsl:value-of select="."/
   </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

This works perfectly in all cases _except_ when there is one or more
<indexterm> elements in the title.

I hope following should work:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">

 <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

 <xsl:template match="title">
   <topic-title><xsl:apply-templates
select="indexterm[1]/preceding-sibling::node()" /></topic-title>
</xsl:template>

 <xsl:template
match="node()[following-sibling::indexterm[not(preceding-sibling::indext
erm)]]">
   <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="self::text()">
       <xsl:copy-of select="." />
     </xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>
       <xsl:apply-templates />
     </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
 </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

This produces output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<topic-title>Configuring the process command  </topic-title>

With input XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<title>Configuring the <command>process</command> command  <indexterm>
   <primary>In title</primary>
   <secondary>first</secondary>
 </indexterm>
 <indexterm>
   <primary>In title</primary>
   <secondary>second</secondary>
 </indexterm>
</title>

You could try to correct the extra newline printed at the end.
