Then once you have the index built you can see the indexed words in BV with your colouring css trick.

Kevin,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Yes, index already built, by a combination of "Mark for Index", and "Index Editor". Once I had it looking like I wanted, I then created the index, and it generated a new html file in the sidebar called "index.xhtml". However, when I used index editor, I went very broad, so would like to now go in an edit it down. I thought this would be easier if I could highlight the index marks in the text, hence my question.

in the css.
(provided the color is not being overridden somewhere else)

Though there's technically nothing wrong with the way the guide suggests (provided the index has been already been generated as Kevin mentioned.)

DiapDealer,

Thanks. Yes, I thought something similar - I will have a play around with it some more.

However, my suspicion is that I can get the ones in this form: "<a class="sigil_index_marker" title="text here" id="sigil_index_id_1">" to highlight, but I can't see a way to get the ones in the form: "<cite id="sigil_index_id_8">" or "<p id="sigil_index_id_7">" to highlight.

Does anyone have any experience of this?

Thanks all.
