Mark,

Creating a cross reference that includes the page number is a chicken-egg problem. The page number isn't known until the document is rendered, but then the link has already been created. So it's not possible (not within a two phase conversion, which this converter doesn't do).

Index entries already include a page number.

Similarly for index entries?
