RE: [docbook-apps] index merging, hhk file

[Tim Arnold <Tim.Arnold@sas.com>]

hi David,
I figured people must be happy or I would have found more in my googling.
Unfortunately for me, I have to generate both the hhk and index.xml files according to an internal spec, which means I'll have to merge them myself. 

Oh well, once I get the xslt working, I can offer that back to the community. Seems like a good thing for the eclipsehelp style as well.

thanks,
--Tim
