Subject: RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: Help project structure
Your right. I answered a little to quickly. I momentarily forgot that the index was an html file and not a .hhk. Thanks for the other info, I will keep that in mind.

With the stylesheets, in the index pane you do currently get to select from a list of pages that contain an indexterm if more than one contain that term. Jirka's stylesheets don't actually generate an .hhk, but put code in the html files that lets the help compiler generate the index without an .hhk. What I have in mind is something in the topic itself and which connects that topic to all other topics which are related to it. This is different from the popup that you get in the index (which only lists topics containing that indexterm). Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but there's no constraint in the dtd regarding indexterms used in multiple places--in fact it's kind of expected. For example, in a pdf, to have the following index entry generated: network adapters, 55, 73, 82 requires that you have the markup <indexterm><primary>network adapters</primary></indexterm> in three separate places in your document.
