no, unfortunately it does not work.

(1) I downloaded the "docbook-xsl-1.47-experimental"; this should be the 
  most recent stylesheets

(2) I have an indexentry in the docbook XSL it looks like this:

<indexterm><primary>IFS</primary></indexterm>

(3a) I try to create HTML using autoidx.xsl (that was once recommenden): 
this does not work at all: it generates plain text, no html any more??

(3b) I try docbook.xsl: this works: generates HTML, but no index

(3b) I try chunk.xsl: this creates correctly a "chuncked version", but-- 
you can guess--no index.


so PLEASE give me a hint: where is my problem; where is my 
misunderstanding. unfortunately the documentation is very hard to 
understand, so I am not sure whether there must be configured something 
else...


thank you very much in advance

p.s.: btw: sorry, my last posting went directly per email to you, which 
was because the mailing list is configured (who knows why? no other 
mailing list is like this) that a reply is directed to the person not to 
the list???
