Ideally it should end with the </idx:entry> tag, but actually it seems very random, showing partial or multiple entries (it is not a constant amount of text, the length varies). I though it is something with the input file I create, but I noticed the same happen with the build in English dictionary.

Anybody experiencing the same? Any ideas how to fix it?
Try <idx:short>.

Code:
<idx:entry>
  <idx:orth>chair</idx:orth>
  <idx:short>a kind of seat.</idx:short>
  a seat for one person, which has a back, usually four legs and sometimes two arms
<idx:entry>
I also wonder if it works.
