this was a feature of "man2html", which we ditched as a dependency when introducing the new DocBook-based toolchain.

It's possible to define an "Index" in DocBook too (see example image attached)...it's just that someone would have to do the work of 
re-introducing all previous entries as proper "indexterms", and then all the other formats (PDF, ePUB) would benefit from this 
automatically. Care to write a short Python script for this?

Best regards,

Dirk
