Can you give an example of what those locators would look like in the
context of HTML and ePub, which have no fixed page numbers?

Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Generating e-pub and html
indexes
Thanks for the link:
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/html/index.links.to.section.html
Changing the parameter to 0 links the <indexentry/> directly to the
appropriate point in the text.
Can the generated index linked be changed to reflect the paragraph/line
number, or something other than the chapter/section title.
Locators like those in pdfs generated via FO are ideal.
I am aware that the index.prefer.titleabbrev can also be set to 1, or the
default 0, but this is not desire-able in the documents at hand.

Now I know where to change a parameter.
I'll give that a go.

As HTML doesn't use page numbers you need
another anchor -- only
sensible anchor with a label is the closest
section with the title.

Yes, just
set the following parameter to 0:

You don't even need to manually assign IDs for this,
they can be
autogenerated.
