According to Bill Akins: > If I use <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC for noindex_start value and > for > noindex_stop value, will this keep the page from being indexed while > still following any links it may contain?
No, for two reasons: 1) noindex_start causes everything from that start string up to the noindex_end (not noindex_stop) string, to be stripped out of the document while indexing, so the parser sees nothing in that section of the file, and 2) using an ending string of simply ">" will cause it to end the block being stripped out at the first ">" found after the start string, not the last one, so it won't strip out much. > I don't want any html files to be indexed since I am only serving up PDF > files (and the HtDig web pages) but HtDig relies on Apache indexes to > find the files.

That would be http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.23, which you should re-read more thoroughly, as there are a number of tips in the answer to that question which you may be able to use. You could also use a "restrict" input parameter of ".pdf" in htsearch, to limit search results to PDF files. See FAQ 4.20. -- Gilles R.
