I'm using Sigil for the first time to create a poetry book and there is a requirement for an index of first lines. I have marked the first lines of the poem as an index entry and then created the index.
I think I must be doing something wrong. In the index the first line appears but without a link. The link is provided by clicking on a number 1 that appears next to all the entries. The html looks like

Code:

 <div class="sgc-index-entry">
     first line of the poem
 <a href="link to the poem">1</a>
    </div>

and I can fix the problem by manually replacing the '1' with the first line of the poem
<

Code:

div class="sgc-index-entry">
 <a href="link to the poem"> first line of the poem</a>
    </div>

This works fine, but there are over 200 poems and I'd really appreciate finding a quicker way.
Can anybody help?
