Paragraph and section identifiers

Capture a target element at the start of every paragraph and chapter or section title.

Give the element an id attribute.

Give the element a target-type attribute with value para-id.

Capture the paragraph or section ID number as text content of the target element.

When the ID number is used only to support frontlist index creation, and is not visible in the book content, give the element an attribute specific-use="index-creation".
