Kenneth,  you are not getting an index because there was no such item in 
my print copy.
page numbers are in the XML markup and they are correct.  The Daisy reader 
 in the Levelstar ICON navigates correctly by roman and arabic pages.
Chapter headings are a mystery to me because I have them in the source 
file.. I will investigate with engineering next week.  Stay tuned.
Looks like they may have been stripped without being moved to the markup. 
. . most intriguing!

Well, I downloaded that book.  I can't find any page numbers and I can't 
find any chapter headings.  I can't find any index.  What am I not 
getting?

Kenneth, If you are interested in modern German literature,  try 

Too Far Afield, by Gunther Grass. 

Page numbers and chapter headings have been completely normalized.

[bksvol-discuss] page numbers etc.








For all this talk, can someone give the name of one book in the current 
collection of over five hundred pages which has all of the page numbers, 
in the right places, so that one can use that page number to footnote 
scholarly research.  I would like to see at least one, because almost all 
of the books I put on the system are mangled so that I can't later use 
them for my work or research.
