I wonder whether I could ask a silly question here: is there a way of 
processing the RTL documentation to extract the description as a single 
line, so that it can be run through a permuted-index generator?

For example, if index-generation was restricted to ten words the lines

BEToN will rearrange the bytes in a Big-Endian number
LEToN will rearrange the bytes in a Little-Endian number

run through the unix ptx utility would index under "Endian" (amongst 
others).
