Subject: RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: HTML Help: Missing index
To add a little more information, when you turn on the htmlhelp.use.hhk parameter, the stylesheets create a separate file to contain the index (the HHK file). When you turn the parameter off, the indexterms are inserted in the body of the HTML pages as references to ActiveX objects. When the HTML Help compiler reads these files, it builds the index on-the-fly. As Jirka pointed out, each method has its limitations.

Well documentation is not very verbose: Name htmlhelp.use.hhk - Should be index built using HHK file? Synopsis §211: §216 1| <xsl:param name="htmlhelp.use.hhk" 2| select="0"/> Description If non-zero, index is created using HHK file. This provides some new features. But index is created anyway. With HHK file indexterm is pointing to exact place of occurence, but sections names are mangled if there are multiple occurences of this term in index. It is known limitation of HH, and its your decision what is more approriate in your documentation.
