Re: [lojban] Re: CLLv1.1: javascript challenge, help needed

*nodnod*  It's not just you; see below.

How about an ETA for all the chapter pictures?  :D

I actually started poking at it myself, and it looks like it does
*not* expose the post-page-number-conversion data, so that the only
"supported" way to handle this problem is to use javascript to
*generate the index*.

However.

It occurs to me that this can probably be solved by walking the
index, finding the page number of all the link destinations, and
simply *deleting links that point to the same page*, before Prince's
final pass is complete; so I'm going to try that out.
