+
+As nobody responded when I first put this question, may I have another go?
+Surely there is a `makeindex' guru somewhere out there?

+Subject: pagebreaks, &c in indexes
+Content-Length: 869
+X-Lines: 41
+
+
+a) Is there any way of ensuring that an index generated by  makeindex
+is not broken between an item and its following subitem? - e.g.:
+
+network  12
+news
+========= pagebreak ============
+  bad  13
+  good  14
+next  15
+
+I guess (see Companion p.359) that it could possibly be done via the
+keyword  item_x1  in the  *.ist  file, if at all.  If so, then how?
+\nopagebreak  in the  *.ind  file seems to have no effect.
+
+
+
+b) Furthermore, is there any way of generating the following?  My guess
+is `no':
+
+news
+  bad  13
+  good  14
+  \emph{see also} gnus
