PhD already does produce very similar HTML markup, but apparently that is not enough. The problem has to do with the chm index files, I think (see bug#42880). I really have no idea how the whole chm stuff works so I can't really do anything about it. I've ordered a crash course from Derick, scheduled before the 5.3 release, hoping I can figureout exactly what needs to be done and how - and then do it :) -Hannes
