This is the README file relative to package imakeidx version 1.0a dated 12 July 2010. Copyright 2010 Claudio Beccari and Enrico Gregorio The bundle contains the files: README this file imakeidx.dtx the documented source TeX file WARNING: the derived files: imakeidx.sty the package itself imakeidx.pdf the documentation file in PDF format are SIMULTANEOUSLY 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.
