Well, there is 'keyword' and 'keywordset', which can appear in any *info element. It was the intention of those to embed a list of searchable keywords. These words are output by the HTML stylesheets in <meta name="keywords"> elements in the HTML head. Those wouldn't be hard to collate into an index. But they only resolve to the HTML file, not a specific anchor location in the file. Some of your FAQ pages are pretty long. Why not just use a regular index if you are going to embed terms? -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 Caldera International, Inc. fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@caldera.com
