Re: [docbook-apps] PDF Index Sidebar

Hi,
I think you mean you see the TOC in the Bookmarks window pane in a PDF 
browser such as Adobe Reader.

Putting the complete index there could be done, but it would not be 
easy.  The TOC follows the structure of the document, so that list can 
be generated by processing the whole document in mode='fop1.outline' in 
document-order and generating fo:bookmark elements as you go.

The indexterms are scattered throughout the source document, and the 
code that assembles them into a sorted hierarchical index is some of the 
most complex XSL in the DocBook stylesheet.

You would need to copy most of the templates in fo/autoidx.xsl into a 
customization layer, and change it to generate fo:bookmark elements 
instead of fo:block elements.  I don't think bookmarks could generate 
page numbers, so you would have to substitute some other kind of marker 
in place of fo:page-number-citation in that code.
