There seems to have been some confusion on the question.
To be clear, we will have an amazing index either way.
The question is, how important is the difference between:
lo 10, 17, 28, 342
klama 22, 781
abstractions 85, 141, 542
and
lo Section 1.1 Introduction, Section 2.3 Articles, Section 3.4 Bob, Section 7.8 Frobnitz
klama Section 1.1 Introduction, Section 18.12 Too Many Sections
abstractions Section 2.3 Articles, Section 5.7 Qux, Section 12.18 Backwards
Ignore the details of formatting in the latter case; pretend I can
have it say anything *except* the page number.
Assuming both indexes had the same content, which do you prefer for
a *PRINTED* book, and how much?
How much difference does it make if the average length of a section
is, say, 3 pages?
If you could make it do
lo §1.1¶1-4 , §2.3¶5 , §3.4¶10 , §7.8¶2
klama §1.1¶1 , §18.12¶4
abstractions §2.3¶2,3 , §5.7¶8 , §12.18¶8
But you couldn't make it do page numbers, I'd be okay with it.
