Hi Hussein,

As you recommended in a previous reply, I have downloaded and taken a
look at the XML source for the XML_Mind help files. I'm working on the
index and glossary for my current project, and I have a few questions.

1. Marking up a glossary was, well, a bit clunky - I ended up doing it
in a text editor. When I view the glossary as a managed entity
reference, the default styling is easy to interact with. When I edit the
glossary file itself, the tree view is very unwieldy, and when I try to
enter some text for the <glossterm>, the curser focus keeps moving back
to the <para> in the previous <glossterm> element. In other words,
XML_Mind does not let me access the text node of the <glossterm>
element, nor does it allow me to access the text node of the <para> in
the <glossdef>.

2. I couldn't see any <indexterm> elements in any of help files - have
you worked on any docBook projects that required a lot of manual
indexing, and if not, what indexing tool do you use outside of XML_Mind?
I'm looking for examples of *real* documents that have been indexed...

Thanks again for a great product!

Chris
