Yes, but it still won't give what iSiloX can give, since it's only going
to give the two files in this example. What if one wants (and I must
confess that this is not something I actually needed) to get two files,
and, say, everything these two files link to, at depth 1 relative to each?
I suppose this can be done by just making a custom HTML file pointing to
these two files, and then setting depth to 2. The problem then is that
the custom HTML file will, I assume, show up as the home page when one
loads in the file.
So, perhaps the solution is to add an option to the distiller to start the
spidering from one file (e.g., the custom HTML file pointing to the links
one wants) and to include another file as the home page in the
viewer. This would be the simplest. Then, for proper searching, one will
just want to process pages in the order fetched.
