Re: publishing: no default publishing function, or symbol is not defined

Juan Manuel--

Thanks. I understand no pages in a web document; I thought (hoped?) that
section/subsection numbers, perhaps multiple, would appear next to the
entries in the index.  I will try to be more specific with the ! syntax

Any advice for how to get *both* theindex.html and my main document in
html? So far I can only get one or the other, depending on whether I
include a non-nil value for a :makeindex option.

Thanks.
