Yes, it is certainly possible for the reference to go directly to the location of the indexterm, because the html stylesheet does insert a name anchor for each one inline. But the stylesheet doesn't actually use it in the reference. Instead, it purposely uses the id for the containing section. I can see why it uses the title of the section for the HREF hot link, because there are no page numbers and that helps the reader identify where the link goes. But I don't see why it shouldn't go to the indexterm named anchor. Perhaps Norm can clarify? -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 The SCO Group fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@sco.com
