OK: so we have an unmaintained, probably machine generated, and apparently incomplete but otherwise useful piece of the documentation. Any memory of who or how it was generated generated? I had to create something similar for another project and had a degassing step in there which appears to have omitted here. If memory serves correctly degassing can actually be done with simple unix commands only. But that would bypass the incompleteness issue. The C++ thing that I have in specialized form might be generalized to create a component for Axiom that would work from the entire documentation source since the pamphlets are really now TeX/Latex which was its targeted input.

The file book-index.xhtml was a contributed document. Axiom does nothing but copy it at build time.

There are in fact three text statements in in that section containing the string "eg?". I generally believe that an index would contain only one entry per page for any given word. Does the index generation mechanism for Axiom inteneded to function that way? Or does it tolerate duplicates per page/section?
