I meant the likes of Python manual, the glibc manual, and others.
Good luck negotiating with them. And then there's always a
possibility that the user will want to add some manual we know nothing
about.
I think a better solution will be to be tolerant, i.e. look for nodes
that contain "index", and maybe also "function" or "variable", in them
regardless of the rest.
