+A domain will typically keep an internal index of all entities to aid
+cross-referencing.
+Typically it will also add entries in the shown general index.
 If you want to suppress the addition of an entry in the shown index, you can
 give the directive option flag ``:noindexentry:``.
+If you want to exclude the object description from the table of contents, you
+can give the directive option flag ``:nocontentsentry:``.
 If you want to typeset an object description, without even making it available
 for cross-referencing, you can give the directive option flag ``:noindex:``
 (which implies ``:noindexentry:``).
