Re: [docbook-apps] Generating e-pub and html indexes
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you all on this. I have been trying to upload the customization to wiki.docbook.org, but I am having a bit of trouble doing that. I may end up putting it on a different site temporarily, unless I can figure out what's going on in the wiki. I should be set one way or the other in the next day or two, and I'll let everyone know at that point.

Re: [docbook-apps] Generating e-pub and html indexes
Hi Paul, I misunderstood what you meant by locator. As you said in your earlier mail, setting the stylesheet parameter 'index.links.to.section' to a value of zero creates an href that sends the link directly to the point in the text where the indexterm was located. I don't think you can get any more specific than that. So I think your last paragraph is satisfied. The hot link text displayed in the index is still the section title, even though the link lands at the specific point. I thought you wanted to change the hot text, from the section title to something like a page number, so I was asking about an example of what you want the hot text to say instead of the section title, given that page numbers don't exist in HTML output.

Re: [docbook-apps] Generating e-pub and html indexes
Hi Paul You are right about my desire to change the appearance of the locator in the generated index. I would prefer a locator like a page number. I understand that the locators generated in html, etc., give the context of the indexterm/. However, I would prefer a locator such as c1s3p7 (chapter one, section 3, paragraph 7), or c4t3 (chapter four, table 3), if not the exact locator given in an equivalent pdf file. Or, each locator might be given a sequential number. I am looking for a simply link in an index than the chapter title.

Re: [docbook-apps] Generating e-pub and html indexes
I seem to recall that Framemaker's HTML output used something simple like this for the link text: cat, [1] dog, [1], [2], [3], [4] egret, [1], [2] This is easily achieved in DocBook XSL by customizing this template from autoidx.xsl: xsl:template match=indexterm mode=reference by replacing how the title variable is computed in that template with this: xsl:variable name=title xsl:text[/xsl:text xsl:value-of select=$position/ xsl:text]/xsl:text /xsl:variable Here the $position value was passed to the template as a parameter, giving it the position in the list of links for that indexterm. If you are using zones in your indexterms, there are a couple of other templates you will need to customize as well. If you want to pursue your c1s3p7 scheme, the context node for this template is the indexterm in its location in the text. To get the number of its chapter, for example, you could use something like this within the template: xsl:apply-templates select=ancestor::d:chapter[1] mode=label.markup/ When customizing index templates, your customization layer will usually need to incorporate the entity declarations that are used in most of the index templates. See the top of the autoidx.xsl file to see how to do that.
