It is completely compatible to the current \Lprog{makeindex} program, but can handle \Index{UTF-8}, 16, 32, and 64. The \LaTeX\ package \Lpack{xindex} is a package which provides a \LaTeX\ command which writes additional text into the index file. This text (comments and/or macros) will be accepted by the program \XI. The general structure of a \Index{data element} in the Lua table is: \begin{verbatim} data = { Entry = , -- like the input line without command \indexentry pages = { { number = , special = }, -- the part after | in the input [...] { number = , special = } }, sortChar = , -- of the first character of Entry Macro = -- only useful with LaTeX package \Lpack{xindex} } \end{verbatim} After reading the input file the table \texttt{pages} has only one element for the number\index{page number} and the so-called special command. When the pages are compressed the table will collect all pages which refer to the same \Index{entry name}. \iffalse EntryList[2] = { Entry = "Johann", -- the index item foo@bar pages = { -- the page number(s) and the part after | { number = 111, special = '\\emph' }, { number = 11, special = "\\textit"} }, sortChar= 80, -- Initial for later output Macro = "" } \fi \subsection{Syntax} The \Index{syntax} is \verb|xindex [...] | where \verb|[...]| are optional \Index{argument}s, either in short or long form which, of course, can be mixed: \begin{verbatim} xindex [-q,--quiet ] [-h,--help ] [-v ] verbose [-c,--config ] default is cfg [-e,--escapechar ] default is " [-a, --no_casesensitive ] default is false [-b,--no_labels ] default is false [-n,--noheadings ] default is false [-o,--output ] default is .ind [-l,--language ] default is en [-p,--prefix] default L [-u,--use_UCA ] default is false [-s,--use_stdin ] default is false (default stdin) file(s)[.idx] one or more files \end{verbatim} For example: \begin{verbatim} xindex -q -l fr -b myDoc xindex -l de -c DIN2 demo1 demo2 demo3 xindex -c norsk -o index.ind demo1 demo2.bdx demo3.adx \end{verbatim} \begin{enumerate} \item \texttt{-q}: quiet; \texttt{-l fr}: french language setting; \texttt{-b}: no labels; \texttt{myDoc}: input data \texttt{myDoc} or \texttt{myDoc.idx)\newline output data will be \texttt{myDoc.ind} and logfile \texttt{myDoc.ilg} \item \texttt{-l de}: german language setting; \texttt{-c DIN2}: config file \texttt{xindex-DIN2.lua}; \texttt{demo1 demo2 demo3}: input data files with or without extension \texttt{.idx} \newline output data will be \texttt{demo1.ind} and logfile \texttt{xindex.ilg}} \item \texttt{-c norsk}: config file \texttt{xindex-norsk.lua}; \texttt{-o index.ind}: output file; \texttt{demo1 demo2.bdx demo3.adx}: input data files with or without extension \texttt{.idx} \newline output data will be \texttt{xindex.ind} and logfile \texttt{xindex.ilg} \end{enumerate} It is also possible to use standard input for the index data, which needs the \verb|-s| parameter: \begin{verbatim} cat myDoc.idx | xindex -q -l fr -b -s xindex -l de -c DIN2 < myDoc.idx \end{verbatim} \iffalse local args = require ('xindex-lapp') [[ parameter handling -q,--quiet -h,--help -v... Verbosity level; can be -v, -vv, -vvv -c,--config (default cfg) -e,--escapechar (default ") -n,--noheadings -a,--no_casesensitive -b,--no_labels -o,--output (default "") -l,--language (default en) -p,--prefix (default L) -u,--use_UCA -s,--use_stdin (default stdin) [.idx] file(s) ]] \fi The \Index{language} has to be chosen as an international abbreviation in lower- or uppercase letters, see \url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2} \subsection{How it works} \XI creates by default an \Index{output} file \texttt{.ind} which can be read by the \LaTeX\ document with the default command \Lcs{printindex}. One can use another output filename, which makes only sense if one doesn't use the \Lcs{printindex} command for typesetting the index. The default \Index{sorting} is given by the configuration file, which defines replacements for \Index{accented characters}, like \texttt{ö}$\rightarrow$\texttt{o}. \subsection{The \texttt{.idx} file} There are four characters which must be escaped if used in the command \Lcs{index}: \verb=!=, \verb=@=, \verb="=, or \verb=|=. These charactzers have a special meaning for the index.\index{"!}\index{"@}\index{"|} The default \Index{escape character} is the double quote \verb|"|: \iffalse To put a !\index{"!}, @\index{"@}, or |\index{"|} character in an index entry, quote it by preceding the character with a quote ". More precisely, any character is said to be quoted if it follows an unquoted " that is not part of a \" command. A quoted !, @, or | character is treated like an ordinary character rather than having its usual meaning. The " preceding a quoted character is deleted before the entries are alphabetized. \fi \begin{externalDocument}[ % grfOptions={width=\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxsep-2\fboxrule}, pages={1,2}, frame, compiler=lualatex, crop, xindex, force=false, runs=2,code,docType=latex, showFilename, align=\centering, lstOptions={columns=fixed}]{xindex} %! lualatex %! xindex \documentclass{scrartcl} \makeatletter \def\theindex{% only for demonstration \section*{\indexname} \parskip\z@ \@plus .3\p@\relax \parindent\z@ \let\item\@idxitem} \makeatother %StartVisiblePreamble \usepackage{makeidx}\makeindex %StopVisiblePreamble \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} \section{Escaping characters} \begin{itemize} \item Exclamation mark ! \index{exclaim ("!)} \item Vertical bar| \index{Vertical bar ("|)} \item Doublequote \verb|"| \index{""} \item Double doublequote \verb|""| \index{""""} \item At character @ \index{At ("@)} \end{itemize} run \texttt{xindex }\index{}\index{123} \newpage \printindex \end{document} \end{externalDocument} For the german language the double quote is an active character and it makes live easier if one chooses another character. The escape character can be changed easily by the optional argument \verb|-e ""| or \verb|--escapechar "|. The following example shows how it works for the \Index{escape character} > (greater). Internally the escape sequences are now defined as: \begin{verbatim} escape_chars = { -- by default " is the escape char {esc_char..'"', '//escapedquote//', '"' }, {esc_char..'@', '//escapedat//', '@' }, {esc_char..'|', '//escapedvert//', '|' }, {esc_char..'!', '//scapedexcl//', '!' }, {esc_char..'(', '//escapedparenleft//', '(' }, {esc_char..')', '//escapedparenright//',')' } } \end{verbatim} which is, of course, not of interest for the user. With the beginning the escaped chars are converted into the internal strings and later back to the origin meaning. \begin{externalDocument}[ % grfOptions={width=\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxsep-2\fboxrule}, pages={1,2}, frame, compiler=lualatex, crop, xindex, xindexOptions=-e ">", force=false, runs=2,code,docType=latex, showFilename, align=\centering, lstOptions={columns=fixed}]{xindex} %! lualatex \documentclass{scrartcl} \makeatletter \def\theindex{% only for demonstration \section*{\indexname} \parskip\z@ \@plus .3\p@\relax \parindent\z@ \let\item\@idxitem} \makeatother %StartVisiblePreamble \usepackage{makeidx}\makeindex %StopVisiblePreamble \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} \section{Escaping characters with >} \begin{itemize} \item Exclamation mark ! \index{exclaim (>!)} \item Vertical bar| \index{Vertical bar (>|)} \item Doublequote \verb|"| \index{>"} \item Double doublequote \verb|""| \index{>">"} \item At character @ \index{At (>@)} \end{itemize} Run \texttt{xindex} with \texttt{xindex -e ">"}\index{}\index{123} \newpage \printindex \end{document} \end{externalDocument} \section{Language}\label{language} The \Index{language} is only important for the first two headers in the output of the index data. They are by default \emph{Symbols} followed by \emph{Numbers}. In a new version of \Lprog{xindex} it will be customizable. The predefined language is »en« and currently the following languages are possible: \begin{Verbatim}[commandchars=\\<>] indexheader = { cs = {"Symboly", "Čísla"}, da = {"Symboler", "Tal"}, de = {"Symbole", "Zahlen"}, en = {"Symbols", "Numbers"}, fr = {"Symboles","Nombres"}, it = {"Simboli", "Numeri"}, \Japanese jp = {"シンボル","番号"}, } \end{Verbatim} The following example was run with \verb|xindex -l it .idx|: \begin{externalDocument}[ % grfOptions={width=\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxsep-2\fboxrule}, pages={1,2}, frame, compiler=lualatex, crop, xindex, xindexOptions=-l it -e ">", force=false, runs=2,code,docType=latex, showFilename, align=\centering, lstOptions={columns=fixed}]{xindex} %! lualatex \documentclass{scrartcl} \makeatletter \def\theindex{% only for demonstration \section*{\indexname} \parskip\z@ \@plus .3\p@\relax \parindent\z@ \let\item\@idxitem} \makeatother %StartVisiblePreamble \usepackage{makeidx}\makeindex %StopVisiblePreamble \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} \section{Escaping characters with >} \begin{itemize} \item Exclamation mark ! \index{exclaim (>!)} \item Vertical bar| \index{Vertical bar (>|)} \item Doublequote \verb|"| \index{>"} \item Double doublequote \verb|""| \index{>">"} \item At character @ \index{At (>@)} \end{itemize} Run \texttt{xindex} with \texttt{xindex -l it -e ">"}\index{123} \newpage \printindex \end{document} \end{externalDocument} \section{Sorting} \subsection{Default sorting by a character table} The default sorting is unicode aware and uses a translation table for accented characters: \begin{verbatim} alphabet_lower = { -- for sorting { ' ' }, -- only for internal tests { 'a', 'á', 'à', 'ä'}, { 'b' }, { 'c' }, { 'd' }, { 'e', 'é', 'è', 'ë' }, { 'f' }, { 'g' }, { 'h' }, { 'i', 'í', 'ì', 'ï' }, { 'j' }, { 'k' }, { 'l' }, { 'm' }, { 'n', 'ñ' }, { 'o', 'ó', 'ò', 'ö' }, { 'p' }, { 'q' }, { 'r' }, { 's' }, { 't' }, { 'u', 'ú', 'ù', 'ü' }, { 'v' }, { 'w' }, { 'x' }, { 'y' }, { 'z' } } \end{verbatim} There is also a table for the uppercase letters. If it should be edited or extended then copy first the base configuration file \Lfile{xindex-cfg.lua} and modify that new file. It can be used by \XI with the optional argument \texttt{-c newfile} if it is named as \Lfile{xindex-newfile.lua}. For german there already exists a configuration file \Lfile{xindex-DIN2.lua} which uses the so-called »Telefonbuchsortierung« which converts the umlauts like ö$\rightarrow$oe: \begin{verbatim} alphabet_upper = { -- for sorting { ' ' }, { 'A', 'Á', 'À', 'Ä'}, { 'B' }, { 'C' }, { 'D' }, { 'E', 'È', 'È', 'ë' }, { 'F' }, { 'G' }, { 'H' }, { 'I', 'Í', 'Ì', 'ï' }, { 'J' }, { 'K' }, { 'L' }, { 'M' }, { 'N', 'Ñ' }, { 'O', 'Ó', 'Ò', 'Ö' }, { 'P' }, { 'Q' }, { 'R' }, { 'S' }, { 'T' }, { 'U', 'Ú', 'Ù', 'Ü' }, { 'V' }, { 'W' }, { 'X' }, { 'Y' }, { 'Z' } } \end{verbatim} \begin{externalDocument}[ grfOptions={scale=0.9},%width=\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxsep-2\fboxrule}, mpwidth=0.4\linewidth, pages={2}, frame=false, compiler=lualatex, crop, xindex, xindexOptions=-l de, force=false, runs=2,code,docType=latex, showFilename, align=\centering, lstOptions={columns=fixed}]{xindex} %! lualatex \documentclass[paper=a5]{scrartcl} \usepackage[ngerman]{babel} %StartVisiblePreamble \usepackage{makeidx}\makeindex \newcommand\Index[1]{\index{#1}#1} %StopVisiblePreamble \usepackage{multicol} \makeatletter \def\theindex{% only for demonstration \newpage \section*{\indexname} \begin{multicols}{2} \parskip\z@ \@plus .3\p@\relax \parindent\z@ \let\item\@idxitem} \def\endtheindex{\end{multicols}} \makeatother \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} Sorted with \verb|-l DE| \Index{Österreich} \Index{Öresund} \Index{Ostern} \Index{Ober} \Index{Oberin} \Index{Österreich} \Index{Öresund} \Index{Ostern} \Index{Ober} \Index{Oberin} \Index{Obstler} \Index{Öl} \Index{ölen} \Index{Ödem} \Index{Oligarch} \Index{Oder} \Index{oder} \index{Fluss!Oder} \index{Oder|seealso{Fluss}} \Index{Göbel} \Index{Goethe} \Index{Göthe} \Index{Götz} \Index{Goldmann} \printindex \end{document} \end{externalDocument} The same sorted with the german DIN variant 2 with \verb|--config DIN2|, which is part of the \TeX\ distribution.

For example: \begin{verbatim} function specialCompressPageList(pages) if (pages[1]["number"] == "") then pages[1]["number"] = " " end if (#pages <= 1) then pages[1]["number"] = pages[1]["number"]:gsub('-',':~')-- replace "-" with ":~" return pages end -- only one pageno local sortPages = {} local roman local volume local page local i for i=1,#pages do roman = string.gsub(pages[i]["number"],'%U*','') -- only uppercase to catch VII/1-123f and VII/3-123ff (folium pages) if romanToNumber(roman) then roman = string.format("%05d",tonumber(romanToNumber(roman))) -- only roman part VII else roman = "" end volume = string.gsub(pages[i]["number"],'%a*','') -- only the number /2 123 or /2-123 if volume then volume = volume:gsub('-%d*','') end -- delete - char to get /2 page = string.gsub(pages[i]["number"],'.*-','') page = string.format("%5s",page) sortPages[#sortPages+1] = { origin = pages[i], sort = roman..volume.." "..page } -- no minus between Roman/Volume and first page end table.sort(sortPages, function(a,b) return a["sort"] < b["sort"] end ) [...] return pages end end \end{verbatim} is a special function which can handle \Index{page number}s like VII-17, VIII/2/1-186.

With the \LaTeX\ package \Lpack{xindex} (same name as the Lua program \Lprog{xindex}) defines a macro \Lcs{writeidx} which writes its argument into the \Lext{idx} file. This can be usefull to insert a \Index{pagebreak}/""\Index{columnbreak} before a new letter in the output of the index file: \begin{verbatim} \documentclass{article} \usepackage{makeidx} \makeindex \usepackage{xindex} \begin{document} \index{foo}foo and \writeidx{\clearpage} \index{bar}bar \printindex \end{document} \end{verbatim} Such commands are then taken into account by the program \Lprog{xindex}. With the often used program \Lprog{makeindex} such commands are ignored. In the following example we put an horizontal line after the first entry: \begin{externalDocument}[ % grfOptions={width=\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxsep-2\fboxrule}, mpwidth=0.55\linewidth, pages={2}, frame=false, compiler=lualatex --shell-escape, crop, xindex, xindexOptions=-l de, force=false, runs=2,code,docType=latex, showFilename, align=\centering, lstOptions={columns=fixed}]{xindex} %! lualatex --shell-escape \documentclass{scrartcl} \usepackage{libertinus-otf} %StartVisiblePreamble \usepackage{xindex} \makeindex %StopVisiblePreamble \pagestyle{empty} \makeatletter \def\theindex{% only for demonstration \newpage \section*{\indexname} \parskip\z@ \@plus .3\p@\relax \parindent\z@ \let\item\@idxitem} \makeatother \begin{document} \index{foo}foo and \writeidx{\item\protect\hrulefill} \index{bar}bar \index{gex}gex \printindex \end{document} \end{externalDocument} \section{Headings} By default the output uses the english headings: \textit{Symbols}, \textit{Numbers}, and \textit{A} \ldots There are three predefined languages \texttt{en}, \texttt{de}, and \texttt{fr}.

Sometimes the headers are not needed, for example in a name list. With the optional argument \verb=-n= or \verb=--noheadings= the created \Lext{ind} file has only the vertical space between different first letters: \begin{externalDocument}[ % grfOptions={width=\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxsep-2\fboxrule}, mpwidth=0.55\linewidth, pages={5}, frame=false, compiler=lualatex, crop, xindex, xindexOptions=-n, force=false,, runs=2,code,docType=latex, showFilename, align=\centering, lstOptions={columns=fixed}]{xindex} %! lualatex \documentclass{scrartcl} \makeatletter \def\theindex{% only for demonstration \section*{\indexname} \parskip\z@ \@plus .3\p@\relax \parindent\z@ \let\item\@idxitem} \makeatother %StartVisiblePreamble \usepackage{makeidx}\makeindex %StopVisiblePreamble \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} Ein foo\index{foo}\index{bar|(} \newpage und \index{foo} ein foo\index{foo|textit} \newpage und foo\index{foo|textbf} \newpage und foo\index{foo|fbox} \index{bar|)} \newpage \verb|xindex -n | \printindex \end{document} \end{externalDocument} The headings are printed by default as \Lcs{textbf}.

With the optional argument \verb|-b| for the run of \XI one can supress the creation of the labels, e.g. \verb|xindex -b -l fr ...| \section{Demerits} \begin{itemize} \item For more than 5000 entries in the \Lext{idx} file the internal Lua function for \Index{sorting} may take some time. \item The \Lext{idx} file is not checked for \LaTeX\ errors\index{LaTeX\ errors@\LaTeX\ errors} in the argument of \Lcs{indexentry}. \end{itemize} \appendix \section{Examples} \begin{externalDocument}[ % grfOptions={width=\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxsep-2\fboxrule}, mpwidth=0.55\linewidth, pages={2}, frame=false, compiler=lualatex --shell-escape, crop, xindex, xindexOptions=-l de, force, runs=2,code,docType=latex, showFilename, align=\centering, grfOptions={width=\linewidth}, lstOptions={columns=fixed}]{xindex} %! lualatex --shell-escape \documentclass[paper=a5]{scrartcl} \usepackage{libertinus-otf} \let\NewPage\newpage% only for demo \makeatletter \renewcommand\newpage{\NewPage\let\ps@plain\ps@empty} \makeatother %StartVisiblePreamble \usepackage[imakeidx]{xindex} \makeindex % Brian Dunn %StopVisiblePreamble \begin{document} First level.\index{first level} First level second level.\index{first level!second level} Duplicate.\index{first level!second level} Alpha.\index{alpha} Alpha beta.\index{alpha!beta} Alpha beta gamma.\index{alpha!beta!gamma} Duplicate alpha beta.\index{alpha!beta} Duplicate alpha beta gamma.\index{alpha!beta!gamma} \newpage \printindex \end{document} \end{externalDocument} \begin{externalDocument}[ % grfOptions={width=\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxsep-2\fboxrule}, mpwidth=0.55\linewidth, pages={2}, frame=false, compiler=lualatex --shell-escape, crop, xindex, xindexOptions=-l de, force, runs=2,code,docType=latex, showFilename, align=\centering, grfOptions={width=\linewidth}, lstOptions={columns=fixed}]{xindex} %! lualatex --shell-escape \documentclass[paper=a5]{scrartcl} \usepackage{libertinus-otf} \let\NewPage\newpage% only for demo \makeatletter \renewcommand\newpage{\NewPage\let\ps@plain\ps@empty} \makeatother %StartVisiblePreamble \usepackage[imakeidx]{xindex} \makeindex % Martin Sievers %StopVisiblePreamble \begin{document} Test \index{A!Test} oder auch \index{B!Test} \newpage \printindex \end{document} \end{externalDocument} \printindex \end{document}
