It will not run with bibliographical entries (\ltxinp{\bibitem}) + explicitly typed into the document. Each author entry in the generated list + contains the pages where these citations occur. Alternatively, the package + can list the labels of the citations that appear in the references rather + than the text pages. The package requires \perl\ (version 5 or higher) to run + an auxiliary script and \BibTeX. The package can be used by itself or as a + preprocessor for \mkindex. It can produce separate indices and mini indices, + which are merged in the bibliography. The package can run under Unix, + Windows, or MS-DOS. The \authorindex\ package is compatible with the standard + bibliographical styles distributed with \LaTeXe\ and with \package{hyperref}. + With the small patches listed here, it will also run with the + \package{chapterbib}, \package{chicago}, \package{harvard}, and + \package{natbib} bibliographical style packages. +\end{abstract} + + +\section{Installation} + +The \authorindex\ package consists of the \LaTeX\ style file \aisty\ and the +\perl\ script \aiperl. It needs \LaTeXe, \BibTeX\ \cite{Patashnik88a} and +\perl\ (version 5 or better) to run. + +To install the package, move \aisty\ to a place where \LaTeX\ looks for its +style files. Unix: The \perl\ script \aiperl\ must be moved to a place in your +executable path and be given execution permission. You may need to modify the +path to the \perl\ binary that appears in the first line of the script \aiperl, +replacing \file{/usr/bin/perl} by the correct path for your system. MS-DOS: A +\perl\ processor for MS-DOS such as \package{ActivePerl} can process the +\LaTeX\ auxiliary file \fnext{aux} in a command window to produce the +\authorindex\ file \fnext{ain}. + + +\section{Using the package} + +The \LaTeX\ source code includes the \ltxinp{authorindex} package +via a \ltxinp{\usepackage} statement. It may also be necessary to +replace your \ltxinp{\cite} commands by \ltxinp{\aicite} +commands\footnote{If you put the statement +\ltxinp{\let}\ltxinp{\cite}\ltxinp{=}\ltxinp{\aicite} in the +preamble after the loading of the package, \ltxinp{\cite} commands +will be equivalent to \ltxinp{\aicite} commands, and you will not +need to modify your text.}. The \ltxinp{\aicite} command behaves +like \ltxinp{\cite} but writes additional information to the +\fnext{aux} file needed to generate the author index. + +Additional commands are available. The command \ltxinp{\aimention} enters a +name into the author index that does not appear in the bibliography file +\fnext{bib}. It is not strictly a ``citation'' command because it doesn't add a +citation to the text. Its argument is an author name in the \BibTeX\ name +format like \ltxinp{\aimention\{Carl Friedrich Gau\{\string\ss\}\}}, for +example. This command is designed to bridge the gap with keyword indices and +might be useful for referring to famous people whose work (in contrast to their +publications) is common knowledge. Multiple names are possible if they are +separated by \ltxinp{and} as in the standard \BibTeX\ author format. The +command \ltxinp{\aionly} expects a bibliography key and puts the corresponding +authors in the author index without generating a citation. In a sense, it is +similar to \ltxinp{\nocite}. + +Producing the author index requires only a few steps. Run the \perl\ script +\aiperl\ and \LaTeX\ sequentially; the procedure is similar to producing the +bibliography output from \BibTeX. The command \ltxinp{\printauthorindex} marks +the point where the author index is to appear in the \LaTeX\ output. A typical +sequence to run the tools would be \LaTeX, \BibTeX, \authorindex, \LaTeX, +\authorindex, \LaTeX. For MS-DOS or Windows, the \authorindex\ step would be +processed in a command window by an explicit statement like \cmdline{perl + authorindex \textit{example} [cr]}, where \textit{example} is the name of the +\fnext{aux} file and ``\cmdline{[cr]}'' indicates the enter key. In a Unix +environment, the \aiperl\ script can be invoked simply by the statement +\cmdline{authorindex \textit{example} [cr]}. + +Options to the \authorindex\ package are available, invoked in the usually way +\ltxinp{\usepackage[option\ldots]\{authorindex\}}. The option \ltxinp{withbib} +automatically indexes the page where a bibliography entry appears in the +references. There is also the possibility of generating an index that is merged +into the corresponding bibliography entries themselves. This possibility is +switched on by the package option \ltxinp{miniindex} discussed more below. + +The details of including the author index are left to the author. Unlike the +\LaTeX\ commands \ltxinp{\printindex} or the \ltxinp{\thebibliography}, the +command \ltxinp{\printauthorindex} does not create a chapter or section +heading. To format the author index in multiple columns on a page in a +one-column document, use an additional package like \package{multicol}. With +this package, a two-column author index will be created with +\begin{verbatim} +\begin{multicols}{2} +\printauthorindex +\end{multicols} +\end{verbatim} +If you plan to generate several documents with author indices in a consistent +style, consider redefining the \ltxinp{theauthorindex} environment to fit your +needs. + + +\section{Overall structure of the index} + +\subsection{Normal \fnext{ain} file} + +The \fnext{ain} file created by the \perl\ script \aiperl\ from the \fnext{aux} +file and used by \ltxinp{\printauthorindex} will look like this: +\begin{verbatim} +\begin{theauthorindex} +\item[May, Karl] \aipages{\aifirstpage{iv}, 2, \aibibpage{77}} +\item[Musil, Robert] \aipages{7, 9, \aibibpage{\aifirstpage{77}}} +\indexspace +\item[Schmidt, Arno] \aipages{33, \aibibpage{78}} +\item[Souter, Nathaniel] \aipages{29--\aifirstpage{36}} +\end{theauthorindex} +\end{verbatim} +Note the provision for both text and bibliographical pages. Author names that +start with different letters are separated by the statement +\ltxinp{\indexspace}, which inserts a blank line between the groups. This +command has no arguments but can be redefined according to your needs inside or +outside the \ltxinp{theauthorindex} environment. Also, note the provision for a +sequential range of pages. + + +\subsection{Font sizes} + +The command \ltxinp{\aisize} controls the font size used for the author index. +It expects no arguments. You can redefine it outside the +\ltxinp{theauthorindex} environment to customize the font size. In most cases, +it will be sufficient to use one of those options in the \authorindex\ package: +\begin{description} +\item[small] will cause the author index to be typeset in small size. +\item[normal] (the default) will cause the author index to be typeset in the + normal text size. +\end{description} + + +\subsection{Separate entries for first and other authors} +\label{sec:firstandothers} + +By default, \authorindex\ generates exactly one entry for each author in the +index. All pages with citations of the author's work go into this entry, no +matter what the co-authors for the work that you cite are. + +You can change this behavior with the \ltxinp{\aisee} command. You call +\ltxinp{\aisee} in the preamble of your document with a string argument. For +authors that are not the first in the author list of a work cited, +\authorindex\ generates an entry with this authors name, followed by the string +you have given to \ltxinp{\aisee}, followed by the name of the first author of +the cited work. Entries for authors that are first (or even only) authors of a +work are listed in the author index as usual. + +For example, if you write in German, you'd put +\begin{verbatim} +\aisee{, siehe } +\end{verbatim} +in your preamble. If you write in English, you would use ``see'' instead of +``siehe''. For example, assume that we cite works with the following author +lists: ``A. Schmidt, R. Musil, and K. May'' (cited on page 4); ``R. Walser +and K. May'' (and page 4 and 5); ``R. Musil'' (on page 3); `R. Musil and N. +Souter'' (on page 5); ``N. Souter and R. Musil'' (on page 2 and 6). Then, the +entries starting with ``M'' in the \fnext{ain} file look like like +\begin{verbatim} +\item[\aitop{May, K.}, siehe \aifirst{Schmidt, A.}] \aipages{4} +\item[\airep{May, K.}, siehe \aifirst{Walser, R.}] \aipages{4, 5} +\item[Musil, R.] \aipages{\aifirstpage{3}, \aifirstpage{5}} +\item[\airep{Musil, R.}, siehe \aifirst{Souter, N.}] \aipages{2, 6} +\item[\airep{Musil, R.}, siehe \aifirst{Schmidt, A.}] \aipages{4} +\end{verbatim} + + +\subsection{Mini indices} +\label{sec:mini} + +Alternatively (or additionally) to the usual author index, you can use the +package option \ltxinp{miniindex} in the preamble to cause \aiperl\ to merge a +mini index directly into your bibliography file; that is, the merge modifies +the \fnext{bbl}-file. This procedure requires that you run \aiperl\ +\emph{after} you run \bibtex. The page list is put into the single argument of +the command \ltxinp{\bibindex}. By default, \ltxinp{\bibindex} prints nothing +if its argument is empty. Otherwise, it passes the argument to +\ltxinp{\aibibindex}, which prints the pages in bold type enclosed by braces +(for example, \textbf{\{10, 11, 36\}}), as in Nelson F. Beebe's author index +package \cite{Beebe98}. For alternatives, you can redefine +\ltxinp{\aibibindex} using \ltxinp{\renewcommand}. For obvious reasons, a mini +index always contains the page numbers, even if the \ltxinp{biblabels} package +option is used. + +Normally, the mini index is placed at the end of each item. You can change +this by hacking your bibliography style file. Let it place \verb|\bibindex{}| +on it's own line where you want the mini index to go, and \aiperl\ will do the +rest. + +\section{Author names} + +\subsection{Which names to include in the index?} + +There are two package options to \authorindex\ to select which type of names to +include in the index: +\begin{description} +\item[editors] will cause the editor names to be included in the author index. +\item[avoideditors] will cause the editors names to be included only if there + are no author names present for a cited work +\item[onlyauthors] (the default) will restrict the author index to the author names. +\end{description} +Previous comments concerning authors will also apply to editors when the +\ltxinp{editors} option is invoked. + +The command +\ltxinp{\aimaxauthors[}\textit{trunc\/}\verb|]{|\textit{max\/}\verb|}| limits +the maximum number of authors per work that will be included in the author +index. The optional first argument \textit{trunc\/} determines the number of +authors to be included if the maximum number is exceeded. If it is omitted, +\textit{trunc\/} is assumed equal to \textit{max}. Thus, +\ltxinp{\aimaxauthors[1]}\verb|{3}| will set the maximum number of authors to +3; for works with more than three authors only the first one will be included. +In this example, for a work by ``A. Schmidt, R. Musil, and K. May'', all of +them will appear in the author index while, for a four-author work by ``A. +Schmidt, R. Musil, K. May, and N. Souter'', only Schmidt will. This usage is +similar to the ``et al.'' commonly used in in bibliographies. With +\ltxinp{\aimaxauthors}\verb|{3}|, on the other hand, for works with more than 3 +authors, the 3 first ones will be included. For the two example author lists, +in both cases, Schmidt, Musil, and May will be listed. + +The \authorindex\ package accepts package options for only the most important +cases: +\begin{description} +\item[onlyfirst] sets the maximum number of authors (or editors) per work that + will be included in the index to 1. It corresponds to + \verb|\aimaxauthors{1}|. +\item[all] (the default) sets the maximum number of authors (or editors) per + work that will be included to 9999. It corresponds to + \verb|\aimaxauthors{9999}|. +\end{description} + + +\subsection{Formatting and sorting} + +The command \ltxinp{\ainamefmt} contains the specification for formatting and +ordering names. Its argument is a string consisting of one or more parts +separated by semicolons. Each part is made up of one or two components, +separated by a colon. If there is only one component, the both components are +assumed to be equal. Each of the two component consists of a \BibTeX-format +string \cite{Patashnik88b}. The first component formats the way the names are +printed in the index; the second component, the way the names are sorted. It +is therefore possible to include the same name multiple times in the index, +each time sorted or printed differently. One restriction is that you cannot +have different printed representations that have the same sort format. Because +\ltxinp{\ainamefmt} can be messy to use, a few simple cases can be selected by +options to the \authorindex\ package: {\small +\begin{description} +\item[lastname] will only include the last name of the authors (and titles like + ``von'', if present). +\item[firstabbrev] will also include the abbreviated first name(s) (and + eventually also a ``jr.''), following the last name. +\item[fullname] (the default) will spell the names in full, to the extent given + in the \fnext{bib} file. +\end{description}} + +For example, the package options \ltxinp{fullname}, \ltxinp{lastname}, and +\ltxinp{firstabbrev} correspond following uses of \ltxinp{\ainamefmt}: +\begin{verbatim} +\ainamefmt{{vv }{ll}{, ff}{, jj}}} % fullname +\ainamefmt{{vv }{ll}}} % lastname +\ainamefmt{{vv }{ll}{, f.}{, jj}}} % firstabbrev +\end{verbatim} +For a more complex example, assume we want to format the names like for +\ltxinp{firstabbrev} but, in addition to the normal sorting, we also want to +sort in names that have a `von'-part ignoring that part. In other words, we +want C. F. von Weizs\"{a}cker to appear both under ``V'' and ``W'' in the +index, but nonetheless always typeset as ``von Weizs\"{a}cker, C. F.'': +\begin{verbatim} +\ainamefmt{% + {vv }{ll}{, f.}{, jj};% + {vv }{ll}{, f.}{, jj}:{ll}{vv }{, f.}{, jj}% +} +\end{verbatim} +This approach would also work for name prefixes like ``van'' or ``de la''. + +Note that the command \ltxinp{\indexspace}, which separates entries that start +with a different letters, is placed according to the format used for sorting. + +\subsection{Fonts for the names} + +\ltxinp{\ainame} is a command with one argument. It determines how the +argument of \ltxinp{\item} inside the \ltxinp{theauthorindex} environment is +printed. + +The command \ltxinp{\aifirst} has one argument. It is used to typeset the name +of the leading author from an entry with an additional author when using the +command \ltxinp{\aisee}. The command \ltxinp{\aitop} typesets the name of the +first occurrence of an additional author, that is, an author name before the +string defined by \ltxinp{\aisee}. + +Finally, \ltxinp{\airep} typesets a name that has already been used in the +previous index entry. Look at the example in section~\ref{sec:firstandothers} +for clarification. + +By redefining these commands, you can do more than just selecting fonts. One +example would be to redefine +\begin{verbatim} +\renewcommand{\airep}[1]{---} +\end{verbatim} +to cause the name of an author to printed only once when it occurs in many +subsequent entries. + + +\subsection{Advanced customization} +\label{sec:bsthacker} + +If the standard command \ltxinp{\ainamefmt} does not provide enough +flexibility, you can use the command \ltxinp{\authorindexstyle} in the +preamble. Its single argument is the name of some \fnext{bst}-file that you +select to format the author names. + +If you decide to write a custom \fnext{bst}-file, it is necessary to understand +hacking \fnext{bst} files, e.~g.\ by reading \cite{Patashnik88b}. Your \BibTeX\ +style file needs to generate a \fnext{bbl} file that contains three lines for +each author-label pair. The first line is the name formatted according to your +taste, as it appears in the index. The second line is the name format used for +sorting. The third line contains the label of the citation, or is empty. In +the latter case, the label of the previous three line entry is taken; +furthermore, this entry is assumed to refer to the same author as the current +one --- differing only in the formatting or sorting rule. The default +\fnext{bst} file used to format the names is embedded in the \perl\ script +\aiperl. You could use this as template. Use the command line option +\option{-k} for \aiperl\ (see Sec.~\ref{sec:Runai}). + +The first author of the work is expected to be dumped into the \fnext{bbl} file +first. + + +\section{Page numbers and bibliography labels} + +\subsection{Page numbers or bibliography labels?} + +You have to possibility of selecting whether you want the page numbers or the +bibliography numbers of the references to appear in the index. This selection +is done through the package options +\begin{description} +\item[biblabels] will include in the author index the reference label as it + appears in the reference list instead of the page numbers. +\item[pages] (the default) the pages of the citations. +\end{description} +With the option \ltxinp{biblabels}, every citation will be indexed. There is no +need to use the special citation commands \ltxinp{\aicite}, unless you want to +have a mini index as well (see section \ref{sec:mini}). With this option, it +makes no sense to use either the \ltxinp{\aimention} command or the +\ltxinp{withbib} package option. + +While this manual has referred to ``pages, '' it also applies to the indexing +of bibliography labels unless explicitly noted otherwise. + + +\subsection{Ordering of pages and compression of page ranges} + +The command \ltxinp{\aipagetypeorder}\verb|{|\textsl{order\/}\verb|}| can be +used to determine the relative order of different types of page numbers, such +as roman, arabic, and others. The argument \textsl{order\/} is a string +consisting of a selection of the characters \ltxinp{rRnAa}, which indicate +lowercase roman, uppercase roman, arabic, uppercase alphabetic, and lowercase +alphabetic page numbers, respectively. The relative order of the letters in the +string determine the order of the page numbers. For example, the argument +\ltxinp{rn} will sort all lowercase roman pages before the arabic pages. If you +want to use lowercase alphabetic numbers, you have to use +\ltxinp{\aipagetypeorder} without putting \ltxinp{r} in the string; that is, +you can't use lowercase roman numbers and lowercase alphabetic numbers at the +same time. The same holds for using uppercase roman and alphabetical page +numbers. Composite page numbers (like ``4-17'') are split into their components +(using any character that cannot be interpreted as a digit as field separator) +and sorted with the priority of components decreasing from left to right. + +Normally, three or more adjacent page numbers are ``compressed.'' If an author +citation appears on pages 4.17, 4.18, and 4.19, the page range will appear as +``4.17--4.19'' in the index entry. However, a range of only two consecutive +pages will not be compressed. To represent such a pair by the first page number +plus some string (typically, ``f''), specify that string as the argument of +\ltxinp{\aitwosuffix} in the preamble. You can suppress range compression +altogether by using the \ltxinp{nocompress} package option. + + +\subsection{Fonts used for the pages} + +The command \ltxinp{\aipages} determines the overall font of the page numbers. +The \ltxinp{\aibibpage} command is used to switch on additional properties to +mark the pages that contain the bibliography entries of works of the author --- +relevant if the \ltxinp{withbib} package option is used. \ltxinp{\aifirstpage} +is used to print page numbers of references in which the author is the leading +author. All three commands expect one argument and can be redefined by +\ltxinp{\renewcommand}. + +\subsection{Modifying the page numbers} +\label{sec:pagerep} + +The command \ltxinp{\theaipage} determines the string representing the page +delivered to the \perl\ script \aiperl. This does not apply to bibliography +labels, even if the \ltxinp{biblabels} package option is used. By default, +this is simply defined as \ltxinp{\thepage}, but you can redefine it. +Originally, allowing \ltxinp{\theaipage} to differ from \ltxinp{\thepage} was +intended for multi-volume books, where the page numbers in each volume do not +indicate the volume number. For example, page 231 of volume II will produce +only a plain ``231'' as the page number, whereas you might prefer to have the +indication of the volume in the index such as ``II-231''. You can also do more +sophisticated things. For example, using the \package{hyperref} package with +the \ltxinp{plainpages=false} option to create hyperlinks to the page where the +citation is: +\begin{verbatim} +\def\theaipage{\string\hyperpage{\thepage}} +\end{verbatim} +NB: To avoid keep \aiperl\ from interpreting the string \ltxinp{\hyperpage} as +an alphabetic page number, you should not use alphabetic page numbering and +tell the \perl\ script about it using \ltxinp{\aipagetypeorder}. + + +\section{Running \aiperl} +\label{sec:Runai} + +Having run \LaTeX\ on the properly prepared \LaTeX\ source document, you then +use the \perl\ script \aiperl\ to process the generated \fnext{aux}-files, +which produces the author index file (extension \fnext{ain}). + +The \perl\ script can be called with any number of arguments. Without +arguments, \aiperl\ reads from the standard input. With several arguments, +\aiperl\ appends \fnext{aux} extensions wherever necessary and processes these +files. The output is written to the file whose name is extracted from the +\fnext{aux}-file where \ltxinp{\printauthorindex} was given. It is necessary to +give the \fnext{aux}-file produced by the \fnext{tex}-file containing +\verb|\begin{document}| to \aiperl; this file passes information to the script +regarding the style and content of the index. + +If you use \ltxinp{\include} in your \LaTeX\ source document, it is +sufficient to give the master \fnext{aux}-file to \aiperl; the +\fnext{aux}-files of included files are then processed automatically. + +\aiperl\ recognizes the following command line options: +\begin{description} +\item[-d] (``draft'') Adds additional information to the \fnext{ain} file: For + each author, the labels of all references and the page numbers where they are + cited are included as comments. This detail may help if you manually edit the + generated author index. Also, some statistics are included at the bottom of + the \fnext{ain} file. This option does not work with the \option{-i} option. +\item[-h] (``help'') Prints out a + short help text. +\item[-i] (``index'') Creates a file suitable for further processing with + \mkindex\ or the like. For example, you could use that to make a common + author and subject index. Note the extension of the generated file still will + be \fnext{ain}. (Use the \option{-p} option and redirection to send the + stuff anywhere else.) +\item[-k] (``keep'') Retains the temporarily generated \fnext{bst}-file after + \aiperl\ finishes. This information will give you a good starting point for + advanced customization of the author index (see Sec.~\ref{sec:bsthacker}). +\item[-p] (``print'') Prints the result to standard output instead of writing + it to the \fnext{ain}-file. +\item[-r] (``do not recurse'') Does not automatically process \fnext{aux}-files + produced by included files. +\end{description} + + +\section{\authorindex\ and other packages} + +\subsection{Compatible packages} + +\subsubsection{Standard distribution package} + +The standard \package{cite} package included with the \LaTeX\ distribution +seems to work with \authorindex\ without problems. + +\subsubsection{chapterbib} + +The \package{chapterbib} package also works well with \authorindex. If you +want to use the mini indices, be sure to run \aiperl\ separately on the main +\fnext{aux}-file plus the \fnext{aux}-file for each chapter using the +\option{-r} option (see section \ref{sec:Runai}). In addition, you may want to +run \aiperl\ on the main \fnext{aux}-file to generate an author index for all +chapters. For example, you might use a sequence of the form: +\begin{verbatim} + authorindex -r main chapter1 + authorindex -r main chapter2 + authorindex main +\end{verbatim} +If you require chapterwise author indices, after the first two \authorindex\ +runs in the above example, you should rename \file{main.ain} to something else +and \ltxinp{\input} these files in the place where you want the chapterwise +authorindex to appear. + +\subsubsection{hyperref} + +The script \authorindex\ works well with \package{hyperref}. In the standard +version, the pages in the author index are not linked back to the page with the +citation. Section \ref{sec:pagerep} describes how to fix this problem. + +\subsection{Less compatible packages} + +Most problems with other bibliographical packages arise because the packages +override or skip certain citation functions. The \authorindex\ package modifies +these functions to write page information along with the citation key to the +\fnext{aux} file. In the following examples, we show how to re-establish this +additional output for a few specific packages. Please note that these ``fixes'' +may no longer work if newer versions of these packages appear. + +\subsubsection{\package{chicago}} + +The standard version of the \package{chicago} package does not work with +\authorindex. For this package, there is a patch that apparently makes it work +with \authorindex. In the file \file{chicago.sty}, you replace the lines +\begin{verbatim} +\def\@citex[#1]#2{% +\end{verbatim} +with +\begin{verbatim} +\def\@citex[#1]#2{\@aicitey{#2}% +\end{verbatim} +and +\begin{verbatim} +\def\@citedatax[#1]#2{% +\end{verbatim} +with +\begin{verbatim} +\def\@citedatax[#1]#2{\@aicitey{#2}% +\end{verbatim} +and save the modified file under a new name, e.~g.\ \file{aichicago.sty}. Use +this file in place of the file \file{chicago.sty}. + + +\subsubsection{\package{harvard}} + +The \package{harvard} package can be made to work with \authorindex by adding +code to the document preamble. After loading the \package{harvard} package +with \ltxinp{\usepackage}, write the following lines into the preamble of your +\LaTeX-source file: +\begin{verbatim} +\makeatletter +\renewcommand{\HAR@citetoaux}[1]{% + \if@filesw\immediate\write\@auxout{\string\citation{#1}}\fi% + \if@filesw\@for\@citeb:=#1\do{\immediate\write\@auxout{% + \string\citationpage{\@citeb}{\thepage}}}\fi}% +\makeatother +\end{verbatim} +Then, in the main text, use the \package{harvard} citation commands +\ltxinp{\cite}, \ltxinp{\citeyear}, etc., exactly as you would normally do +without the \authorindex\ package. + + +\subsubsection{\package{natbib}} + +Like \package{chicago}, the package \package{natbib} also conflicts with +\authorindex. Michael Friendly and Patrick W.\ Daly devised a fix for Nelson +Beebe's \package{authidx} package \cite{Beebe98}, which the former posted to +\texttt{comp.text.tex}. With a few changes, it seems to work for \authorindex\ +too. You insert in your \file{natbib.cfg} the following lines: +\begin{verbatim} +% natbib.cfg +% Asoundingly Egregious Hack to make natbib work with authorindex +% package: +% - This tacks on to \NAT@citex, which is just for author-year +% style citations. There's probably a better way +\AtBeginDocument{% +\@ifpackageloaded{authorindex}{% + \let\org@@citex\NAT@citex + \def\@citex[#1][#2]#3{% + \typeout {indexing: [#1][#2]{#3}} + \org@@citex[#1][#2]{#3}\@aicitey{#3}}}{}} +\endinput +\end{verbatim} +Please note that I tested this work-around superficially. It does not repair a +conflict that occurs when the \authorindex\ package option \ltxinp{withbib} is +used. + + +\section{Problems and restrictions} + +Currently, I am aware of the following problems and restrictions: +\begin{itemize} +\item Compression of page numbers ignores whether the pages will be printed in + the same font; that is, you might get something like ``7--\textbf{9}''. +\item Compression always uses the full page numbers, that is you will always + get something like ``4.8--4.10'' rather than ``4.8--10''. +\item Sorting of names is restricted. At this time, special characters are + stripped, the case is ignored, and a normal comparison according to the + ASCII~Code is done. This might not be what you want if you have accented + characters. Consider using the option \option{-i} in conjunction with + additional processing by a more flexible tool. +\item If you use \ltxinp{\aicite} with multiple arguments and a page break + occurs within the list of generated references, one part of the citations + will be associated with the wrong page. +\item The package will fail for author names longer than 79 characters + (including spaces, commas, etc) or for very long citation labels. These force + a line break in \BibTeX\ output. Future versions of \BibTeX\ may help. +\item You can not use the package when you explicitly type your bibliography in + your \LaTeX\ file (\ltxinp{\bibitem}) instead of using \BibTeX. Consider + using \BibTeX\ instead. It is a powerful bibliographical tool worth the + small additional effort. +\end{itemize} + +\section{Acknowledgement} + +I want to thank Mark A.
