[Python-Dev] A better index for Python manuals? (original) (raw)

Would it be possible to create a "better" index for Python manuals?

For example, show the page-number/link in bold where an api-function is defined instead of only mentioned... There are several tools now which scan the HTML index to build lists of keywords, they can't get too many information from entries like this: PyFinalize(), [Link], [Link], [Link], [Link], [Link]

I also have a problem with a few entries - eg, PYTHONPATH - it gets lots of index entries, but many point to consecutive paragraphs in the same document.

But I fear this is off-topic - Fred, what is the process for building the HTML index, and should we discuss this on the doc-sig?

Mark.
