The XHTML publication generates a TOC file. Is there a way to get an

Sorry. I forgot that you seem to author DITA documents.
If you want to generate a "back-of-the-book index",
1) you must insert <indexterm> elements in your DITA topics. Simplest
example:
---
<p>It is possible to include math <indexterm>MathML</indexterm> in a
DITA document either by reference or by inclusion.</p>
---
<indexterm> may be inserted/modified using "Topic|Insert or Edit
indexterm". See
https://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/dita/topic_reference.html#dita_indexterm_editor
2) a) If you use DITA *map*s, select "Options|Customize
Configuration|Preprocessing Options", and in the "Index:" combobox of
the dialog box (see attached screenshot), select "Generate as
frontmatter" or "Generate as backmatter".
Please do this for all the output formats you need to generate. In
attached screenshot, I did this for "Convert to single-page XHTML".

b) If you use DITA *bookmap*s, please add a <backmatter>/<booklist>
element containing an <indexlist> element. Our
"XXE_install_dir/demo/dita/dita-sample.ditamap" example:
---
<backmatter>
<booklists>
<glossarylist chunk="to-content" navtitle="Sample glossary">
<topicref href="dita-sample/glossentry1.dita"/>
<topicref href="dita-sample/glossentry2.dita"/>
<topicref chunk="to-content" href="dita-sample/glossgroup1.dita"/>
</glossarylist>
<indexlist locktitle="yes" navtitle="Not an extensive index"/>
</booklists>
</backmatter>

PS: The command-line tool xxeconvert is XMLmind XML Editor without a
GUI. You may want to use it to automate your publications. Example:
---
xxeconvert -profile product_files/XXE.ditaval \
-p use-note-icon yes \
-p xref-auto-text "number text" \
-p mark-external-links yes \
-p mathjax auto \
dita.toXHTML help.ditamap -u /tmp/out/

The XSLT stylesheets parameters (like "-p use-note-icon yes") supported
by ditac, our DITA engine
(https://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/what_is_ditac.html; which is completely
different from the DITA Open Toolkit) are documented here:
