+repeatindex.sty
+

+
+This Package repeats item of an index if a page or column
+break occurs within a list of subitems.
+This helps to find out to which main item a subitem belongs.
+
+Example:
+
+ Main Item A, 1, 3, 6 Main Item A...
+ Subitem a, 1 Subitem g, 1
+ Subitem b, 1 Subitem h, 1
+ Subitem c, 2 Subitem i, 1
+ Subitem d, 3 Subitem j, 1
+ Subitem d, 1 Main Item B, 3, 6
+ Subitem e, 4 Subitem a, 3
+ Subitem f, 2 Subitem b, 4
+
+To get that behaviour you have to include the package into your
+document using \usepackage{repeatindex}, and you have to produce
+the .ind file in a special format in which the entries of the \item
+are enclosed in [...] (example: \item [Main Item A], 1, 3, 6 ).
+This can be achieved using repeatindex.ist:
+ makeindex -s repeatindex file
+
+Problems:
+- When an item is repeated a small vertical space is included two
+ items later
+- If the last item is a subitem and the only entry on the last page
+ of the index the repeation is omitted
+
+This package has not been tested much, yet. Please help me to find
+more problems and if possible solutions to my problems.
+I have had much trouble in solving the problem that the code
+defined in afterpage is executed with a delay.
