-<h3>Multiple indexes</h3>
-<p/>LaTeX&#8217;s standard indexing capabilities (those provided by the
-<i>makeidx</i> package) only provide for one index in your
-document; even quite modest documents can be improved by indexes for
-separate topics.
-<p/>The <i>multind</i> package provides simple and straightforward
-multiple indexing. You tag each <code>\</code><code>makeindex</code>, <code>\</code><code>index</code> and
-<code>\</code><code>printindex</code> command with a file name, and indexing commands are
-written to (or read from) the name with the appropriate (<code>.idx</code> or
-<code>.ind</code>) extension appended. The <code>\</code><code>printindex</code> command is modified
-from the LaTeX standard so that it doesn&#8217;t create its own chapter
-or section heading; you therefore decide what names (or sectioning
-level, even) to use for the indexes, and
-<a href="FAQ-fixnam.html"><code>\</code><code>indexname</code></a> is completely ignored.
-<p/>To create a &#8220;general&#8221; and an &#8220;authors&#8221; index, one might write:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\usepackage{multind}
-\makeindex{general}
-\makeindex{authors}
-...
-\index{authors}{Another Idiot}
-...
-\index{general}{FAQs}
-...
-\printindex{general}{General index}
-\printindex{authors}{Author index}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-To complete the job, run LaTeX on your file enough times that
-labels, etc., are stable, and then execute the commands
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-makeindex general
-makeindex authors
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-before running LaTeX again. Note that the names of the index files
-to process are not necessarily related to the name of the LaTeX
-file you&#8217;re processing, at all. (There&#8217;s no documentation that comes
-with the package: what you see above is as good as you will
-get&#8230;)
-<p/>The <i>index</i> package provides a comprehensive set of indexing
-facilities, including a <code>\</code><code>newindex</code> command that allows the
-definition of new styles of index. <code>\</code><code>newindex</code> takes a &#8216;tag&#8217; (for
-use in indexing commands), replacements for the <code>.idx</code> and
-<code>.ind</code> file extensions, and a title for the index when it&#8217;s
-finally printed; it can also change the item that&#8217;s being indexed
-against (for example, one might have an index of artists referenced by
-the figure number where their work is shown).
-<p/>Using <i>index</i>, to create an author index together with a
-&#8220;normal&#8221; index, one would start with preamble commands:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\usepackage{index}
-\makeindex
-\newindex{aut}{adx}{and}{Name Index}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-which load the package, define a &#8220;main&#8221; (original-style) index, and
-then define an author index. Then, in the body of the document, we
-might find commands like:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\index[aut]{Another Idiot}
-...
-\index{FAQs}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-Which place an entry in the author index, and then one in the main
-index. At the end of the document, we have two commands:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\printindex
-\printindex[aut]
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-Which will print the main index and then the author index. Supposing
-this lot to be in <i>myfile.tex</i>, after enough runs through
-LaTeX that labels are stable, execute the following commands
-(Unix-style shell commands shown here, but the principle is the same
-whatever system you&#8217;re using):
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-makeindex myfile
-makeindex myfile.adx -o myfile.and
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-and rerun LaTeX. The <i>makeindex</i> commands process
-<i>myfile.idx</i> to <i>myfile.ind</i> (the default action), and then
-<i>myfile.adx</i> to <i>myfile.and</i>, the two files needed as input
-by the two <code>\</code><code>printindex</code> commands in <i>myfile.tex</i>.
-<p/>The <i>splitidx</i> package can operate in the same way as the
-others: load the package with the <code>split</code> option, and
-declare each index with a <code>\</code><code>newindex</code> command:
-<blockquote>
- <code>\</code><code>newindex[&lt;<i>index name</i>&gt;]{&lt;<i>shortcut</i>&gt;}</code>
-</blockquote><p>
-and <i>splitidx</i> will generate a file
-<code>\</code><code>jobname</code><code>.&lt;<i>shortcut</i>&gt;</code> to receive index entries
-generated by commands like <code>\</code><code>sindex[&lt;<i>shortcut</i>&gt;]{&lt;<i>item</i>&gt;}</code>.
-As with the other packages, this method is limited by TeX&#8217;s total
-number of output files. However, <i>splitindex</i> also comes with
-a small executable <i>splitindex</i> (available for a variety of
-operating systems); if you use this auxiliary program (and don&#8217;t use
-<code>split</code>), there&#8217;s no limit to the number of indexes. Apart
-from this trick, <i>splitidx</i> supports the same sorts of things
-as does <i>index</i>. An example of use appears in
-the documentation.
-<p/>The <i>memoir</i> class has its own multiple-index functionality (as
-well as its own index layout options, which other packages delegate to
-the index style used by <i>makeindex</i>).
