[OS X TeX] ``\mathit allowed only in math mode'' error while writing .idx

[Murray Eisenberg]

Right, the .idx is not being written into yet (zero bytes), due to the error.

The line numbers you mention seem to refer to the .ind, not the source files. (The root .tex file is rather short.)

Or am I misunderstanding the error message, which with all my chapters, etc., now included in the pdflatexmk run, now reads:

./topologybook.ind:1773: LaTeX Error: \mathit allowed only in math mode.
. . . .
l.1773 \item \idxmark{Urysohn Metrization Theorem}                                                                                                   
                                                  , \hyperpage{506}
