Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] docbook.xsl and epub indexing
Hi, The DocBook XSL stylesheets provide two styles of index links for HTML output. In the default style, the links go to the HTML chunk that contains the indexterm, on the assumption that the chunks are small and the chunk's title provides some context when the user lands there. Chunking normally takes place at some level of section, depending on the value of the stylesheet parameter $chunk.section.depth. The other style takes the user directly to the location of the indexterm within each chunk, which is more like going to the exact page in a paper book. This style is more suitable if your chunks are large. As Robert Nagle said, the stylesheet param $index.links.to.section parameter determines which style is used (the default value is 1). As he reported, though, when that param is set to zero to jump to the exact location, there were duplicate links on the primary entry when secondary indexterms were used. I wasn't aware of that problem, but I have since fixed it in the SVN source. The latest snapshot builds have that fix, if you want to give that a try.

The index points to chapter headings (how useful is that?). Is there a way to revise the XSL to have the index point to the location in the text? -- MMcLoughlin “This e-mail is intended for the exclusive use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
