What you could try is:

  • Copy the list to the system clipboard.
  • Add the list in Sigil via Tools > Index Editor > Add Entry > Paste.

(Add Entry supports multiline lists.)
That still requires a fair amount of manual labour including generating the list of stop words. What he wants is an automated (i.e. someone else does the work) solution. Adding the forward/backward links alone is a nightmare never mind his insistence that it MUST have page numbers.

That's what I've argued. From his email this AM, he has decided to to find a "professional" who will give him what he wants and at the rather low price he wants to pay.
