Probably not a bug, probably no one thought to try it before. You could file a feature request. But since some index entries are merged, it isn't clear to me where to put primary ids. For example, given these two indexterms: <indexterm> <primary id="foo">important methods</primary> <secondary>this method</secondary> </indexterm> <indexterm> <primary id="bar">important methods</primary> <secondary>that other method</secondary> </indexterm> Since the primary terms match, these two entries are merged into one primary and two secondary listings. But you can't put two ids on one primary. Perhaps you meant there should be two <a name="..."> anchors preceding the primary term? -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 The SCO Group fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@sco.com
