The new documentation (and, incidentally, I re-released it yesterday --
see my announcement on exim-announce) uses a different process for
production, involving DocBook XML as the source from which all the
output is produced. The software for making the HTML makes it the way it
does; I don't have any control over that. (Having said that, I know that
Nigel is looking into ways of modifying the result.)

Take a look at the new PDF version; it doesn't have the index around,
but it does have all the chapter and sections available in a sidebar if
you read it with acroread, and if you do go to the index, you can then
jump straight to a page number. Download from
