For those who don't want to read through the whole thread to recall what it did again, it's an Indesign plugin that asks you where the Index begins, which entries to include, and what the intended output is (epub or PDF). Then it takes a while to link up every index reference to the top of its page referent.

I have used it on one 4k+ entry index, and this worked really well.

My only gripe with the script would be that it just heaps anchor tags on top of eachother. I'd much prefer it to check for the presence of an anchor and then use that, instead of polluting the document with 20-odd anchor tags in some cases.

Other than that, it's been really worthwhile, so far.
Meh, while there are some of us (Wait for Jon, aka Wolfie on that topic!) who would whinge about multiple anchors, and for housekeeping purposes, it would be best to regex the dupes to a first anchor, it's still better than doing it manually.

NOW, if I could just get it to go TO the damned item...life would be cool beans.
