John wondered "How can I create a "real" HTML ToC and Index?"
Have you considered Microsoft's HTMLHelp workshop? Also free;
does allow *fairly* easy creation of TOC/Index; it can be served to
users as a compiled file instead of the multitude of HTML files
plain vanilla HTML Help requires; does require IE on users machine,
but user can still use NN for preferred browser.
There are a number of javascript programs for creating TOCs,
just look up menus or navigation in any of the javascript sites.
The only program I've come across for *easy* creation and
maintenance of an HTML index is pricey: 240.00 US$ but it
does get good reviews:
