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.
