we do have indexing and cross referencing; it can be fairly challenging to set 
up. If you download the source version you can check in the tests folder for 
examples cf

test_platypus_index.py
test_platypus_toc.py
test_platypus_xref.py

for various complicated cases. test_platypus_paragraphs.py contains usage of the 
<a> tag.
