$Revision: 1.2 $, $Date: 2004/05/24 21:43:16 $, for xindy version 2.2
<P><HR>
<EM> The <SF>xindy</SF> FAQ presents answers to questions that are not
adequately covered in other parts of the documentation, or are hard to
find. The FAQ has been constructed from the <EM><SF>xindy</SF> by Topic</EM>
manual. The most up-to-date version of this FAQ can be obtained from
the <SF>xindy</SF> homepage at
<A HREF="http://www.xindy.org/doc/faq.html">http://www.xindy.org/doc/faq.html</A>.
<p>
While the content of this document is still valid, it has not been
updated in years and doesn't describe new developments. In particular,
it doesn't mention the many languages that are supported by Thomas
Henlich's <EM>make-rules</EM> system, and also doesn't know anything about
the new commands that got introduced with the "LaTeX Companion
Release". So, caveat. We don't want to throw out the document, though,
since it still contains lots of useful information that's not
available elsewhere.</EM>
