Of course, a really good index takes time and effort. That is out of question. My suggestions is a 80% solution -- the rest has to be taken by a writer. :) But for the really tedious, time consuming, and boring indexing tasks it might be a solution. About novels? Do they really have indices? From my experiences the more the technical inclined books needs one and not novels. I don't understand why a book with "lesser markup" should be a problem. Do you have control about these files? If yes, then you can add additional markup at your will. If not, you'll have other problems. ;) >I guess you invested in higher markup levels, trading off the indexing >task. ><grin/> Still sounds like a job for a person... at one end or the other? Well, I don't say it works for every book.
