There are few HTMl indexing programs around, including some free ones. I cannot
recall details offhand. There's at least one on sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/siteindexer/

Far from a complete answer, and not production quality code, but perhaps useful
would be my programs to produce a permuted index from headers in HTML files.
A sample index is:
http://www.freeswan.org/freeswan_trees/freeswan-1.5/doc/perm.html.html

Free code for producing those is, I think, still somewhere in the FreeS/WAN
distribution (probaly doc/utils), though I've stopped using that index in
recent releases. If you cannot find it or don't understand it, send off-list
mail.
