Higher priority to-dos

1. Add more books (see https://bahai-library.com/zamir_temp_indexes)
2. Option to search word boundaries

Medium priority to-dos

1. Delete unused URL params
2. Fix individual broken "See also" entries
3. Merging of entries option
4. Could make agnostic to application, with user supplying JSON as config files.
5. Ideally add categories, even to each entry level, and allow merging
6. Editing
   1. Add category mechanism for adding categories (and categories for these categories) to top-level index items (for a completely subject-based sorting, as with http://bahai-library.com/hornby_lights_guidance#topicalcontents).
   2. Ability to mark-up any two entries as identical, e.g., "Hair, does not invalidate prayer" and "Prayer, hair does not invalidate", so that could optionally avoid showing duplicates (though admittedly not exactly duplicates based on difference of emphasis)

Lower priority to-dos

1. Offline ability (and reactive web components like uce(-template)?)
2. Add JSON Schema for each schema and any fixed rules into an abstract schema
