Thanks, Zdeněk. I found the problem and a solution for it discussed here: <br>
<a href="https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/263696/polyglossias-setotherlanguage-blocks-imakeindexs-indexprologue">https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/263696/polyglossias-setotherlanguage-blocks-imakeindexs-indexprologue</a>. The solution did work
for me. <br>
<br>
Briefly, the problem is attributed to bidi's restoring the <code>book</code> definition of the
<span style="font-family:monospace,monospace"><code>theindex</code></span> environment for no apparent reason. The solution is to insert the following lines between the
<span style="font-family:monospace,monospace">\usepackage{imakeindex}</span> and <span style="font-family:monospace,monospace">
\makeindex[intoc]</span> lines:<br>
<br>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px;white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:monospace,monospace">% nullify bidi redefinition</span></p>
<span style="font-family:monospace,monospace"></span>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px;white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:monospace,monospace">% this should go after polyglossia and imakeidx have been loaded</span></p>

<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">To get the index listed in the table of contents, I include these two lines in the preamble of a xelatex+polyglossia+bidi program:<br>
<br>
\usepackage[imakeidx]<br>
\makeindex[intoc]<br>
<br>
My problem is that while the index does get produced it doesn’t get listed in the TOC. The trouble can be reproduced in this small program:<br>
<br>
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%<br>
\documentclass{book}<br>
<br>
\usepackage{imakeidx}<br>
\makeindex[intoc]<br>
<br>
\usepackage{polyglossia}<br>
\usepackage{bidi} %%%%%<br>
\setmainlanguage{english} <br>
<br>
\title{Facts}<br>
\author{Aleck}<br>
\date{}<br>
<br>
\begin{document}<br>
\maketitle<br>
\tableofcontents<br>
\chapter{Stars}<br>
Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, is actually a double star.<br>
\index{Sirius}<br>
\printindex <br>
\end{document}<br>
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%<br>
<br>
The above program produces the index without listing it in the TOC. However, if you comment out the \usepackage{bidi} line, the index IS produced and listed in TOC as expected.<br>
<br>
Note that the above program doesn’t really need bidi as all of its output text is in the Latin script. But I do need the bidi feature in the actual document that I need to process.<br>
<br>
Any help will be appreciated.<span class="m_3704635144416860446HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
