I get mails about every dia bug change. But that does not mean I can make
immediately sense of all of them ;) This particular bug report appeared to
me as some improvement and some regression. But I don't really feel
qualified to review it. So input from someone who understands more of
DocBook than I do would really be appreciated.

Could you comment on your replacements of <para/> to <simpara/>. Does it
have to do with producing less pages only containing the headline and a link?

Is this a regression?

will check if it work out of the box for me when I have access to my Linux
box again.

THe exact error message given would be interesting. Looking at the code it
either includes the path or it dose not. The latter would be an issue with
the content of the directory (i.e. missing index.html. The former should
include more detailed information _why_ opening the directory failed.
BTW: it would be better to have this information in a different bug-report
*if* the files are installed in the correct place.

Yeah, but what helps the best documentation if it does not get read ;)
