Description

Most automatically generated lists, other than the index, have entries such as:
```
"canonicalTruncation" -- see canonicalTruncation(Complex,ZZ,ZZ) -- reducing the number of non-zero terms of a complex
```
Better would be to convert the first string to a link taking you to the correct node, and omitting see clause (and keep the headline).

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the generator for automatically generated documentation lists and compare its handling of the index with other lists. Done means entries such as canonicalTruncation link directly to the correct node, omit the “see” clause, and retain the headline.
