I agree.

Last phrase: I agree.

First phrase: I agree.

Please go to

https://bitbucket.org/maproom/qmapshack/wiki/playground/AxAdvIndex_Test

to see a compromise layout of the index page.

Remarks: 

* The section name is not included in the link. Having this name in the link an 
awful layout comes up (everything underlined). With the given layout it is easy 
to see the next subindex.

* I don't succeed to insert newlines with indentation in the term description 
of the defintion list. Thus, all subindex entries are in 1 line.

* There is still the ..., Routino (section1), Routino (section2),... situation. 
I propose to leave it. With the additional section1/2 it is much more 
understandable than in the earlier version.
