Indexing pages and chapters of a book
I have a large number of text files (books) that I am trying to make
searchable with Lucene 2.3.2.
I would like search results to display the page and chapter in which a match
with the search term occurred.
My question is whether it is possible to add structural data (xml perhaps)
to the files so that they can be indexed in a way that captures the
relationship of the terms to the pages and chapters that contain them.
Many thanks in advance!

Sure, you can add any data to any document that you want,
probably stored but not indexed in this case. It could even
be a serialized Java object. Or an XML packet or a
stringized map. Or... whatever suits your fancy. If it's not
indexed, only stored it'll make your index larger but have
a negligible impact on search performance.
The trick is getting token offsets to put in your meta data.
You'll have to get the term positions and store them, but
it's do-able.
