Re: [docbook] Index with htmlhelp.xsl

[Timo <timo@iera.de>]

Hi Bob,

I just wanted to write down a quote but obviously you are the author.
„When you generate your HTML Help using DocBook XSL, your Help file will
have an Index tab in the TOC pane that contains all the titles in your
document.[...] If your DocBook document contains indexterm elements,
then those will also automatically be converted to entries in the Help
index.“*
So indexterms are „also“ being converted. What else is being converted
to the index? In fact, page titles would be great. 
„If htmlhelp.use.hhk is set to zero, then the stylesheet inserts an
OBJECT element “*
How does it work to have OBJECT-elements created? Does the html help
compiler still handle that nowadays?


Thanks a lot!

Timo
