I didn't need anything fancy - hyperlinks for existing references and a word
index.  It came together easier than I expected.  There were some false hits
requiring minor tweaks to the source file.  Anyway, here's the result:
 https://pastebin.com/8xpT6gj1

I wrote a program that takes a plain ASCII version of the 4tH manual and generates a table of entries like this:
   TAG info-4th "MOVE"
     c" MOVE CORE" 10 c,
     c" Compiles to: CMOVE (0)" 10 c,
     c" Stack effects: addr1 addr2 n —" 10 c,
     c" Move the specified quantity of bytes (n) beginning at address" 10 c,
     c" addr1 to addr2 in the Character Segment." 10 c,
     0 c,
Then it also creates an index table like this:
create .info-4th
<snip>
   ," N>R" "N>R" ,
   ," MS" "MS" ,
   ," MOVE" "MOVE" ,
   ," MOD" "MOD" ,
   ," MIN" "MIN" ,
<snip>
does> [: info-4th ;] is info-entry info ;
Usage - just provide the keyword as a parameter.
$ pp4th -x glossary.4th move
MOVE CORE
Compiles to: CMOVE (0)
Stack effects: addr1 addr2 n
Move the specified quantity of bytes (n) beginning at address
addr1 to addr2 in the Character Segment.
$
Works for me.
