This is a documented b^Hfeature: “HTMLTable … is necessary for utf-8 enabled platforms or if file names or description text will alternate between left-to-right and right-to-left reading order” Changing the default IndexOptions (e.g. to include “XHTML HTMLtable FancyIndexing”) would mitigate this. I wouldn't change the default behaviour for 2.2.x / 2.4.x though. -- Tim Bannister – is...@jellybaby.net
