+\section{Generating an Index}
+Using the \textsf{showidx} package users can
+see where they define index entries.
+\par Entries are entered into the index by the
+\Com{index} command. More precisely, the argument
+of the \Com{index} command is written literally into
+the auxiliary file \texttt{idx}. Note, however, that
+information is actually written into that file only
+when the \Com{makeindex} command was given in the
+document preamble.
+
+\section{Preparing the Index}
+To prepare the index for printing, the
+\texttt{idx} file has to be transformed by an external
+program, such as \Prog{makeindex}.
+This program writes the \texttt{ind} file.
+\begin{verbatim}
+makeindex filename
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\section{Printing the Index}
+
+During the final production run of a document the
+index can be included by putting a \Com{printindex}
+command at the position in the text where you want
+the index to appear (normally at the end).
+This command will input the \texttt{ind} file
+prepared by the index processor and \LaTeX{} will
+typeset the information.
+\printindex
