Re: [docbook-apps] indexterm syntax

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Dave,
Actually, the index terms link back to the top of the section or chapter 
containing the entry, and that was by Norm's design. Since there are no 
page numbers in HTML, the section title is displayed as the link.  The link 
goes to the top of the section to permit multiple identical indexterms in 
the same section to collapse to a single entry. That's done to avoid having 
to repeat the section title.

However, that behavior should probably be selectable by a parameter. 
Submit a feature request if you like.
