-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Bill, I assume you are able to add steps to their build process if you're adding the indexing step, so you could run their html output through some version of tidy [1] to turn it into xhtml before running the webhelp indexer on it. That way you wouldn't have to touch their ancient xslts.
