.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBxindy\fR is the formatter-indepedent command of xindy, the flexible
indexing system. It takes a raw index as input, and produces a merged,
sorted and tagged index. Merging, sorting, and tagging is controlled
by xindy style files.
.PP
Files with the raw index are passed as arguments. If no arguments are
passed, the raw index will be read from standard input.
.PP
\&\fBxindy\fR is completely described in its manual that you will find on
its Web Site, http://www.xindy.org/. A good introductionary
description appears in the indexing chapter of the LaTeX Companion (2nd ed.)
.PP
If you want to produce an index for LaTeX documents, the command
\&\fBtexindy\fR\|(1) is probably more of interest for you. It is a wrapper for
\&\fBxindy\fR that turns on many LaTeX conventions by default.

The index is sorted according to the rules of language \fIlang\fR. These
rules are encoded in a xindy module created by \fImake-rules\fR.
.Sp
If no input encoding is specified via \f(CW\*(C`\-\-codepage\*(C'\fR or enforced by
input markup, a xindy module for that language is searched with a
latin, a cp, an iso, ascii, or utf8 encoding, in that order.

Language modules are either placed in the \fIlang\fR or in the

.IX Item "--codepage enc / -C enc"
The raw input is in input encoding \fIenc\fR. This information is used to
select the correct xindy sort module and output encoding of letter
group headings.
.Sp
When \f(CW\*(C`xelatex\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`omega\*(C'\fR input markup is used, \f(CW\*(C`utf8\*(C'\fR is always
used as codepage, then this option is ignored.
.Sp
If raw input is in \s-1LICR,\s0 \fBtexindy\fR\|(1) should be used instead of
\&\fBxindy\fR\|(1). It will activate a mapping of \fIinputenc\fR encoding for

Load the xindy module \fImodule.xdy\fR. This option may be specified
multiple times. The modules are searched in the xindy search path that
can be changed with the environment variable \f(CW\*(C`XINDY_SEARCHPATH\*(C'\fR.

\&\f(CW\*(C`latex\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`xelatex\*(C'\fR input markup is the one that is emitted by
default from the LaTeX kernel, or by the \f(CW\*(C`index\*(C'\fR macro package of
David Jones. ^^\-notation of single byte characters is supported.
Remapping of LICR-encoded characters is not done; use \fBtexindy\fR\|(1) for
that. Use input markup \f(CW\*(C`latex\*(C'\fR if you use standard LaTeX or pdfLaTeX
and use input markup \f(CW\*(C`xelatex\*(C'\fR if you use XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX.
.Sp
\&\f(CW\*(C`omega\*(C'\fR input markup is like \f(CW\*(C`latex\*(C'\fR input markup, but with Omega's
^^\-notation as encoding for non-ASCII characters.

This option is only usable for developers or in very rare situations.

.SH "COMPATIBILITY TO MAKEINDEX"
.IX Header "COMPATIBILITY TO MAKEINDEX"
\&\fBxindy\fR does not claim to be completely compatible with MakeIndex,
that would prevent some of its enhancements. That said, we strive to
deliver as much compatibility as possible. The most important
incompatibilities are
.IP "\(bu" 4
For raw index entries in LaTeX syntax, \f(CW\*(C`\eindex{aaa|bbb}\*(C'\fR is
interpreted differently. For MakeIndex \f(CW\*(C`bbb\*(C'\fR is markup that is output
as a LaTeX tag for this page number. For \fBxindy\fR, this is a location
attribute, an abstract identifier that will be later associated with
markup that should be output for that attribute.
.Sp
For straight-forward usage, when \f(CW\*(C`bbb\*(C'\fR is \f(CW\*(C`textbf\*(C'\fR or similar, we
supply location attribute definitions that mimic MakeIndex's
behaviour.
.Sp
For more complex usage, when \f(CW\*(C`bbb\*(C'\fR is not an identifier, no such
compatibility definitions exist and may also not been created with
current \fBxindy\fR. Such a situation is reported to exist for the
\&\f(CW\*(C`memoir\*(C'\fR LaTeX class.
.Sp
Programmers who know Common Lisp and Lex and want to work on a remedy
should please contact the author.
.IP "\(bu" 4
If you have an index rage and a location attribute, e.g.,
\&\f(CW\*(C`\eindex{key\e(attr}\*(C'\fR starts the range, one needs (1) to specify that
attribute in the range closing entry as well (i.e., as
\&\f(CW\*(C`\eindex{key\e)attr}\*(C'\fR) and (2) one needs to declare the index attribute
in an \fBxindy\fR style file.
.Sp
MakeIndex will output the markup \f(CW\*(C`\eattr{page1\-\-page2}\*(C'\fR for such a
construct. This is not possible to achieve in \fBxindy\fR, output will be
\&\f(CW\*(C`\eattrMarkup{page1}\-\-\eattrMarkup{page2}\*(C'\fR. (This is actually
considered a bug, but not a high priority one.)
.Sp
The difference between MakeIndex page number tags and \fBxindy\fR
location attributes was already explained in the previous item.
.IP "\(bu" 4
The MakeIndex compatibility definitions support only the default raw
index syntax and markup definition. It is not possible to configure
raw index parsing or use a MakeIndex style file to describe output
markup.
.SH "KNOWN ISSUES"

Option \fB\-q\fR also prevents output of error messages. Error messages
should be output on stderr, progress messages on stdout.

There should be a way to output the final index to stdout. This would
imply \fB\-q\fR, of course.

LaTeX raw index parsing should be configurable.
