You are right, the single sided output should also restart the page
numbering on the part element the way the double-sided output does.  That
will be fixed.

Regarding the index entries, the page numbers should be clickable.  The
entry text cannot be because it could have references to several pages.

Regarding what "file is processed" means, you should read that whole HTML
page that I referenced.  It explains how to process the titlepage spec file.

Finally, I am going to switch from SGML to XML. Thanks, ALL of  you  for
all the hints that I have received from the list!

Somehow it does not work if "double.sided" is not enabled.
The document elements are just like the following:
<book><bookinfo>...</bookinfo><dedication>...</dedication>
   <preface>...</preface><part><title>...</title><partinfo> ...

It works, but somehow the pdf indexes are not "click-able".

Yes! This was the hardest part. It is not so obvious to understand
what "file is processed" means. You might want to consider for
adding more links to the "Generate custom XSL templates" page.
