[tex4ht] [bug #146] index: div theindex is starting too late

[Akim Demaille]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #146 (project tex4ht):

Dear CV,

Thanks for the answer.  Your latest proposal is much better, but there are
still flaws.

First of all, when the ist is using subsection*, the structure of the
generated HTML file is broken and hard to read because of all the noindent
stuff:


  <h3 class="likesectionHead"><a id="x1-1000"></a>Index</h3>
  <div class="index">
    <!--l. 2--><p class="noindent" ></p>
    <h4 class="likesubsectionHead"><a id="x1-2000"></a>A</h4>
    <p class="idx">AA, <a href="index-headings.html#x1-2" >1</a></p>
    <p class="idx">AB, <a href="index-headings.html#x1-3" >2</a></p>
    <p class="idxsp"></p>
    <h4 class="likesubsectionHead"><a id="x1-3000"></a>B</h4>
    <p class="idx">
      <!--l. 8-->
      <p class="noindent">BA, <a href="index-headings.html#x1-4" >3</a></p>
      <p class="idx">BB, <a href="index-headings.html#x1-5" >4</a></p>
      <p class="idxsp"></p>
    </p>
    <!--l. 12--><p class="noindent" ></p>
    <h4 class="likesubsectionHead"><a id="x1-4000"></a>C</h4>
    <p class="idx">
      <!--l. 13-->
      <p class="noindent">CA, <a href="index-headings.html#x1-6" >5</a></p>
      <p class="idx">CB, <a href="index-headings.html#x1-7" >6</a></p>
    </div>
  </p>

So really I think using subsection* is smart and consistent with the expected
output, but wrong for tex4ht, so I prefer an ist file as follows:

headings_flag 1
heading_prefix "\textbf{\Large{}"
heading_suffix "}"

which generates a more readable output (I can easily use a fresh macro
instead of textbfLarge to provide more configurability, like subsection* but
without all the messing around noindent; that's really not the point here):

<h3 class="likesectionHead"><a id="x1-1000"></a>Index</h3>
<div class="index">
  <!--l. 2--><p class="noindent" >
  <span class="cmbx-12x-x-120">A</span>
  <p class="idx">AA, <a href="index-headings.html#x1-2" >1</a> </p>
  <p class="idx">AB, <a href="index-headings.html#x1-3" >2</a> </p>
  <p class="idxsp"></p>
  <span class="cmbx-12x-x-120">B</span>
  <p class="idx">BA, <a href="index-headings.html#x1-4" >3</a> </p>
  <p class="idx">BB, <a href="index-headings.html#x1-5" >4</a> </p>
  <p class="idxsp"></p>
  <span class="cmbx-12x-x-120">C</span>
  <p class="idx">CA, <a href="index-headings.html#x1-6" >5</a> </p>
  <p class="idx">CB, <a href="index-headings.html#x1-7" >6</a> </p>
  </div>
</p>

Yet, as you can see, the structure is still broken: <div
class="index"><p>...</div></p>.

Thanks again.
