Thanks for the reply, Bob.
I get the same results using the "html-nochunks"
argument to xmlto but I have to include a title in the qandaset or it won't
work. The verbose option shows me that it is using the current docbook.xsl
sheet (sorry I am not terribly versed in the fine points of stylesheets).
In any case, the reason that the "index.html"
is a problem is that when I include the .proc file in an HTML file which
isn't named index.html... the links aren't correct. It strikes me
as odd default behavior. It seems to a novice such as I am that for
a qandaset the answers are always going to be in the same chunk (or file)
as the questions so a simple "#id......" would work. In
any case, that seems more likely than the answers being in a file named
"index.html".
It's not a big problem because I manually
include the .proc into my HTML file, so one more step is a trivial amount
of extra work. I'm sure there's a smarter way to do this, but this
was the first that occurred to me (though I think someone just asked a
question recently about how to do something similar in a more clever way?).

Re: [docbook-apps] Question
links when making a qandaset into HTML
Hi David,
With the chunking stylesheets, all
hrefs start with the filename.html. Otherwise the stylesheet would have
to compute if the target of the cross reference is in the same chunk as
the link text.
I don't understand why the "index.html"
in the href is a problem. Did you try using the nonchunking stylesheet
instead?

Subject: [docbook-apps] Question links when making
a qandaset into HTML
When I convert to HTML a DB XML document with qandaset as the root element,
the question links at the top of the resulting .proc page are all of the
form "index.html#idxxxxxx". It seems to me that the "index.html"
should not be there. The only reason I care is because to reproduce
on a web site in a quick and dirty way an FAQ I have in a DB book, this
is what I do. Is this a bug or a design decision I don't understand?
FYI, to the best of my knowledge I am using what the xmlto script uses
in cygwin, namely xsltproc with the current chunk.xsl stylesheet.
