Re: [docbook-apps] Thumb index (was: thumb register)

[Bernhard Kleine <bernhard.kleine@gmx.net>]

I found "thumb index" only after I had send the mail. Sorry for the
confusion.

This looks very promising. I was thinking not about the index of two
chapters at the same position, but on different position from Chap1 down
to Chap10 and then restarting on the top to 21 and so an.

Any solution to this. As I am using xml, but not programming it, I would
like ready made solutions.

Credits for this would be published in the boook.

Regards Bernhard
