- Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: HTML Help: Missing index
Hi list,
I'm struggeling with indexes again.
Until yesterday I used docbook-xsl-1.52.2 to produce CHM and the index was
there as I expected.
Then I thought it was time to upgrade and tried out docbook-xsl-1.60.1 and
the index vanished from the CHM completely.
I had a look at the hhk-file and it looked like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft&reg; HTML Help Workshop
4.1">
<!-- Sitemap 1.0 -->
</HEAD><BODY>
<OBJECT type="text/site properties">
</OBJECT>
<UL>
<LI> <OBJECT type="text/sitemap">
<param name="Name" value="lokale Installation">
<param name="Name" value="Herkunft dieser Vorlagen">
<param name="Local" value="ch01s02.html#N1004E">
</OBJECT>
snip
After I replaced < by < and > by > and recompiled the CHM, the index
was there again.
Then I tried out some older versions of the Stylesheets and found out, that
the change must have taken place between 1.53 and 1.55 (I haven't got the
1.54). Until 1.53 the hhk file looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD><BODY>
<UL>
</UL>
</BODY></HTML>
I don't understand why this works - where it gets the index entries from.
But it does.
In the hhk Stylesheet I can see no other change; probably write.text.chunk
has changed.
I suppose if the hhk-File was written out with <> instead of <> my
problems would be solved, but I might be wrong.
