Re: [docbook] HTML links not being created in my indexes

Exactly right.

I have no customizations at all.  I'm using the sheets from 
docbook-xsl-1.65.1.  I have
also tried 1.61.3-51 with the same results.

I just have a couple test indexterms, but I am thinking that they must 
be done correctly
since the index gets created perfectly for those entries for PDF.

Below is the exact HTMLl output.  Would you like to see the details of 
my environment
and processing setup, relevant DocBook markup, and/or PDF output?

I'm going to throw HTML comment delimiters around this, in an attempt to 
prevent
email clients from processing the HTML:

THIS LINE NOT PART OF THE DOCBOOK OUTPUT.  <!--
<div class="index"><div 
class="indexdiv"><h3>A</h3><dl><dt>Auth</dt><dd><dl><dt>Chapt</dt></dl></dd></dl></div><div 
class="indexdiv"><h3>P</h3><dl><dt>Pri</dt><dd><dl><dt>Sec</dt></dl></dd></dl></div></div>
-->  THIS LINE NOT PART OF THE DOCBOOK OUTPUT.
