Re: [docbook-apps] Section Numbers instead of sectin names in indexes.

Hi Klaus,
You will need to customize an XSL template to do that.  Copy the template that starts 
with:

<xsl:template match="indexterm" mode="reference">

from the autoidx.xsl stylesheet file to your customization layer.  That's the template 
that creates the <a href> link for an indexterm.  You can change the code that 
generates the "title" variable.  Instead of using mode="title.markup", you can use 
mode="label.markup" which generates the section number.    If an indexterm is in an 
unnumbered section as in a Preface, then label.markup returns nothing, so you might 
want your code to check whether label.markup returns a value and use the title if not.
