Hi,
The process of generating bookmarks is specific to each FO processor. For XEP, the
document is processed in mode="xep.outline", and those templates are in fo/xep.xsl.
The main template handles all the elements, but you could create a new template in
your customization to match on just <index> and do something different. The basic
template for an XEP bookmark is:
<rx:bookmark internal-destination="{$id}">
<rx:bookmark-label>
<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space($bookmark-label)"/>
</rx:bookmark-label>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*" mode="xep.outline"/>
</rx:bookmark>
Note that it does xsl:apply-templates inside the rx:bookmark to nest any child
elements. That gives the xep outline the same nested structure as the document. If
you were to create a new template matching on index:
<xsl:template match="index" mode="xep.outline">
<rx:bookmark-label>
<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space($bookmark-label)"/>
</rx:bookmark-label>
[generate the nested rx:bookmark elements here for the index sections]
</rx:bookmark>
The tricky part is determining which letters actually have entries in the current
index, so you don't create bookmark links to non-existant index sections. I don't
have a quick solution for that one.
