The index can have up to three lev- + els (0, 1, and 2) of subitem nesting. The way in which + words are flagged for indexing within the main document is + specific to the formatter used; makeindex does not automate + the process of selecting these words. As the output index + is hierarchical, makeindex can be considered complimentary + to the awk(1)-based make.index(1L) system of Bentley and + Kernighan, which is specific to troff(1), generates non- + hierarchical indices, and employs a much simpler syntax for + indicating index entries. For illustration of use with + troff and TeX, see the section EXAMPLES below. + + The formats of the input and output files are specified in a + style file; by default, input is assumed to be a .idx file, + as generated by LaTeX. + + Unless specified explicitly, the base name of the first + input file (idx0) is used to determine the names of other + files. For each input file name specified, a file of that + name is sought. If this file is not found and the file name + has no extension, the extension .idx is appended. If no + file with this name is found, makeindex aborts. + + For important notes on how to select index keywords, see the + document by Lamport cited below. As an issue separate from + selecting index keywords, a systematic mechanism for placing + index terms in a document is suggested in Index Preparation + and Processing, a paper cited below. + +OPTIONS + -c Compress intermediate blanks (ignoring leading and + trailing blanks and tabs).

Addition- + ally, this option enables makeindex to recognize + the German TeX-commands {"a, "o, "u and "s} as + {ae, oe, ue and ss} during the sorting of the + entries. The quote character must be redefined in + a style file (for example, redefine quote as '+'). + If the quote character is not redefined, makeindex + will produce an error message and abort. + + -i Take input from stdin.

For instance, + + \indexentry{alpha@{\it alpha\/}}{1} + + will become + + \item {\it alpha\/}, 1 + + after processing. The pattern preceding `@' is used as sort + key, whereas the one following it is written to the output + file. Note that two appearances of the same key, one with + and one without the actual operator, are regarded as dis- + tinct entries. + + The item, subitem, and subsubitem fields may have individual + sort keys: + + \indexentry{aa@{\it aa\/}!bb@{\it bb\/}!cc@{\it cc\/}}{1} + + This will be converted to + + \item {\it aa}, 1 + \subitem {\it bb}, 3 + \subsubitem {\it cc}, 10 + + It is possible to encapsulate a page number with a desig- + nated command using the encap (`|') operator: + + \indexentry{alpha|bold}{1} + + will be converted to + + \item alpha, \bold{1} + + where, with a suitable definition for TeX, \bold{n} will + expand to {\bf n}. In this example, the three output attri- + butes associated with page encapsulation encap_prefix, + encap_infix, and encap_suffix, correspond to backslash, left + brace, and right brace, respectively.

For example, the + page where the definition of a keyword appears can be in one + font, the location of a primary example can be in another + font, and other appearances in yet a third font. + + The encap operator can also be used to create cross refer- + ences in the index: + + \indexentry{alpha|see{beta}}{1} + + will become + + + + +Sun Release 4.1 Last change: 10 December 1991 11 + + + + + + +MAKEINDEX(1L) MISC.
