Subject: indexterm and generated ids
Hello, I'm trying to get rid of generated ids in XHTML output. The primary reason was Gnome bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=365913 and the fact that ids generated by xsltproc are not stable (they are based on memory addresses or something like that). But things got weird with <indexterm>s. Originally non-zoned <indexterm>s were used: ... <section id="never"> <indexterm><primary>Never</primary></indexterm> <title>Never</title> <para id="never-1">Never, forget it.</para> </section> ... then in index generated with <index> I got <dt>Never, <a class="indexterm" href="#never">Never</a></dt> which links to #never as I would like. However, the XHTML also contains a stray, never referenced anchor with a generated id: <div class="section" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <div class="titlepage"> <div> <div> <h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="never"></a>Never</h2> </div> </div> </div> <a id="id298057" class="indexterm"></a> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What's this? <p><a id="never-1"></a>Never, forget it.</p> </div> I thought it was some artefact of <indexterm>s based on physical location. So I changed them to zoned: <indexterm zone="never"><primary>Never</primary></indexterm> This did not change anything. While I can place the zoned indexterm anywhere I wish in the source, something like <a id="id298057" class="indexterm"></a> still gets generated to the primary flow in the place corresponding to their physical location. This seems to be caused by the following template <xsl:template match="indexterm"> <!-- this one must have a name, even if it doesn't have an ID --> <xsl:variable name="id"> <xsl:call-template name="object.id"/> </xsl:variable> <a id="{$id}" class="indexterm"/> </xsl:template> I can override it, making singular zoned indexterms to really disappear from the primary flow, but the question is *why* they output anything by defaut, i.e. what can break if I do this?
