Association between ToC index object and its paragraph content

[Jens Tröger]

Two things.  First, I had to call update() on the ToC document index
object in order to get all links in the document.  Second, calling
update() _duplicated_ each and every entry in the ToC which looks like a
bug to me (LO 5.3.6.1)…

I’m still curious though: iterating over the paragraphs, is there any
other indication than the par’s name that the par is in fact part of the
ToC index object?  

Cheers,
Jens
