Thanks so much, Jelby. I've downloaded the book and will look inside it when I have time since what you have done looks like a good way to make an index.

So far as footnotes are concerned for what it is worth I always provide a link from the text to the endnotes, and a link back from the endnotes back to the text. The CSS and HTML are below

.fn { font-size: 67%; vertical-align: text-top; } /* With thanks to Weatherwax */

<span class="fn" id="C1F1"><a href="Endmatter.html#C1N1">[1]</a></span>


<p id="C1N1"><a href="Ch01.html#C1F1">[1]</a> </p>

I prefer to put all the endnotes at the back, in the endmatter, so that readers don't have to plough through them at the end of each chapter, but I know other people prefer it the other way.

Regards, Alex
