I don't understand... Sure, the sole proposal of such an index is nuts and ludicrous, but it doesn't seem to be difficult at all to do (except if one wants the page numbers to be the reflowable page numbers, and the "cursor on the word aardvark" part).

As for the stop words, just ignore them (i.e. don't exclude them), let him remove the corresponding entries once the index is done.
Sadly, what he wants is exactly what you included in your except.

Well, then it's just not possible (at least not with JavaScript or similar, therefore not in ePub 2), period.

If we'd all known, we could have had a discussion about someone else who wanted to do this, talking about how impossible it is, etc. and you could have pointed him to the discussion. Hmmmm...

Hell, for that matter, what's a "reflowable page number"? I mean, if you think about it, that's an oxymoron, isn't it?

For me, it's the number of times I have to press "previous page" to reach the beginning of the book (plus one), assuming the ebook reader is well behaved, with the current settings. Changing font size, margins, line spacing, etc. will change the "page number" indeed.

With RMSDK, this index could be made as it uses page numbers that do not change when any settings change.

Well, I did give a solution that would work. But I never said it would be worth the effort. I think it's a terrible idea. I think the index idea should be scrapped. If you are going to fall off your wagon, make sure the horse has stopped first.

Oh, sugah, that horse turned into a pink pony a loooong time ago. Thus the wagon. ;-)

IMO reflowable text should be measured in units of viscosity - the Poise (dynamic) or the Stoke (kinetic).
