This is the README file relative to package imakeidx version 1.0
dated 9 July 2010.

Copyright 2010 Claudio Beccari and Enrico Gregorio

The bundle contains the files:

README              this file
imakeidx.dtx        the docomented source TeX file

WARNING: the derived files:

imakeidx.sty        the package itself
imakeidx.pdf        the documentaion file in PDF format

are SIMULTANEOULY produced while running pdflatex on imakeidx.dtx.

The bundle is distributed under the LPPL license version 1.3c or any later version.

The bundle has the status of author maintained.

The main purpose of this bundle is to exploit the possibility of running
an index formatting program from within a document typesetting task (tested
with the engines pdftex, xetex, and luatex in their incarnation set up to
process the LaTeX markup)at the \printindex level, so that one or more indices
can be typeset in such a way that they are always synchronous with the
document they belong to.

With the TeXlive 2010 release the makeindex program can be safely run within
a TeX run; with previous distributions the shell escape feature must be
explicity enabled. With the 2010 distribution the makeindex program is directly
accessible.

This bundle is compatible with most existing classes; at present it is
incompatible only with the memoir class, because of its special way of
handling multiple indices.
