As the output index +is hierarchical, +.I makeindex +can be considered complementary to the +.IR awk (1)-based +.IR make.index (1L) +system of Bentley and Kernighan, which is specific to +.IR troff (1), +generates non-hierarchical indices, and employs a much simpler syntax +for indicating index entries. For illustration of use with +.I troff +and +.IR \*(TX , +see the section \s-2EXAMPLES\s+2 below. +.LP +The formats of the input and output files are +specified in a style file; by default, input is assumed to be a +.I \&.idx +file, as generated by \*(LX. +.LP +Unless specified explicitly, the base name of the first input file +.RI ( idx0 ) +is used to determine the names of other files. For each input file +name specified, a file of that name is sought. If this file is not +found and the file name has no extension, the extension +.I \&.idx +is appended. If no file with this name is found, +.I makeindex +aborts. +.LP +If exactly one input file was given and no explicit style file was +specified using +.BR \-s , +.I makeindex +uses a file with the extension +.I \&.mst +as default style file (when present). +.LP +For important notes on how to select index keywords, see the document +by Lamport cited below. As an issue separate from selecting index +keywords, a systematic mechanism for placing index terms in a document +is suggested in +.IR "Index Preparation and Processing" , +a paper cited below. +.\"===================================================================== +.SH OPTIONS +.TP 10 +.B \-c +Compress intermediate blanks (ignoring leading and trailing blanks and +tabs). By default, blanks in the index key are retained. +.TP 10 +.B \-g +Employ German word ordering in the index, in accord with rules set forth +in DIN 5007. By default, +.I makeindex +employs a word ordering in which precedence is: symbols, numbers, +uppercase letters, lowercase letters. The sequence in German word +ordering is: symbols, lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers. +Additionally, this option enables +.I makeindex +to recognize the German \*(TX-commands {"a, "o, "u and "s} as {ae, oe, +ue and ss} during the sorting of the entries. The quote character +must be redefined in a style file (for example, redefine quote +as '+'). If the quote character is not redefined, +.I makeindex +will produce an error message and abort. +.TP 10 +.B \-i +Take input from +.IR stdin . +When this option is specified and +.B \-o +is not, output is written to +.IR stdout . +.TP 10 +.B \-l +Letter ordering; by default, word ordering is used (see +the \s-2ORDERING\s+2 section). +.TP 10 +.BI \-o " ind" +Employ +.I ind +as the output index file.

The source log file +name is determined by appending the extension +.I \&.log +to the base name of the first input file +.RI ( idx0 ). +.TP 10 +.B \-q +Quiet mode; send no messages to +.IR stderr . +By default, progress +and error messages are sent to +.I stderr +as well as to the +transcript file. +.TP 10 +.B \-r +Disable implicit page range formation; page ranges must be created by +using explicit range operators; see \s-2SPECIAL EFFECTS\s+2 below. By +default, three or more successive pages are automatically abbreviated +as a range (e.g. 1\(em5). +.TP 10 +.BI \-s " sty" +Employ +.I sty +as the style file (no default). The environment +variable \s-2INDEXSTYLE\s+2 defines the path where the style file +should be found. +.TP 10 +.BI \-t " log" +Employ +.I log +as the transcript file.
