Just adding one element. When I open `theindex.inc` in emacs, then do `M-x
org-mode`, then go on one of the links and do `M-x org-open-at-point`, the
link is correctly followed.
But when exported to html, the link from `theindex.html` is broken, because no
target has been actually created using
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: 9ca0bb24-407e-4d23-863b-b3ff8afb90db
:END:
Instead, I only have a target:
`<h2 id="org1ddafea">`
in `misc.html`, for the considered headline.
It's correct that I do not _need_ a target named after
`9ca0bb24-407e-4d23-863b-b3ff8afb90db`,
But I do need the link and the target to agree.
