In restructured text (rst), the .. syntax starts a directive.  There are 
a number of built-in directives, and there is the ability to extend the 
syntax with domain specific directives.

That must be the case here (since there doesn't appear to be a built-in 
directive named index), so we'll need more information about the source 
of your rst file before we can answer anything about that particular add 
on directive.
