[XeTeX] Is it possible

[Jon Breitenbucher]

Jonathan,

It appears that phantom sections are not working. Everything else 
works. Here is an example for including the index in the contents with 
an active link to the index

\if at xetex
   \cleardoublepage
   \phantomsection
   \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Index}
\else
   \ifpdf
     \cleardoublepage
     \phantomsection
     \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Index}
   \else
     \cleardoublepage
     \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Index}
   \fi
\fi

pdfLatex/hyperref will create a link to the top of the page where the 
index starts. XeLaTeX/hyperref creates a link to the top of the page 
before the blank page, i.e., the index starts on page 50 and the link 
in the contents takes you to the top of page 48 with 49 as a blank 
page. Thoughts?
