Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: autoidx: sorting of special characters


hi,

i'm trying to produce an index for a document in german, and index terms 
starting with one of the german umlauts appear as symbols in the index 
(docbook-xml dtd 1.44). i put the unicodes for these characters into the 
"lowercase" and "uppercase" entities in fo/autoidx.xsl so these characters 
appear as additional characters in the index. that's nice, but in german 
indices, these characters usually are sorted as if they were "ae", "oe", and 
"ue".

is it possible to modify the sorting rules for these special characters (and 
maybe others in other languages)?

by the way: can i change the "lowercase" and "uppercase" entities from within 
another xsl that imports autoidx.xsl? i tried that but it didn't work. i must 
confess i'm not that sophisticated with xml.

thanks in advance.
jochen fraemke
