Tutorial, Edition March 1997 for xindy version 1.1
<P><HR>
<EM> This is a tutorial on writing style files for
the <SF>xindy</SF> indexing system
[5]. <SF>xindy</SF> is a general purpose index processor that
can be configured for a variety of document preparation systems. We
will demonstrate step by step the incremental specification of a
complete index style. The examples are based on indexes that are
delivered with the system so one can get acquainted with it
practically.
<p>
<B>Caution:</B> This tutorial does not describe the complete style file
language. In particular, description of rule sets, the multi-run
approach, and standard modules are missing.</EM>
