It was the lack of tools that prompted us to develop HTML Indexer.
I've seen one product that builds a concordance (an alphabetized list of
all the words on your web site with pointers to all the places they
occur), and another that builds a list of filenames and TITLE tags (so
you can't create your own index entries, multiple entries for one file,
or entries that point to named anchors within files).
I was looking for a tool that would help me create (and maintain!) a
"back of the book"-style index, and that didn't require the reader to
have ActiveX, Java, or plug-ins.
