Subject: [PATCH] Take the Tengwar off the texts index

Every catalogue entry on the shelf index carried its title a second
time in Tengwar, beside the method label. The rendering belongs to the
work's own page, where a reader who has opened a text meets it once at
full size. On the index it repeated seventeen titles nobody had chosen
yet and crowded the column that carries the method.

The index entries and the book entry drop the rendering, the title
helper returns the two halves it now needs, and the three stylesheet
rules that dressed the element go with it. Work pages are untouched.
