This assumes people have put (:keywords:) on the pages.

Another idea: Use the (:title:) or name to build a
KWOC (key-word out of context) index. That is:

1. generate a list of all words used in (:title:)
and create an array of word, title

2. discard words on a stop list (all 2 letter
words, things like the, and, for, ...)

3. sort by word and output

word1
    title1
    title2
    title3
word2
    titleA
    titleB

and so on

Provide an option to reformat as a KWIC (keyword in context)
index. This is a bit trickier to format:

- each title consists of prefix word suffix

- align the centre of word with the centre of the page

  this as an article
             article on cats
         the article about indexing pages

Just a thought...
