<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label multind</title>
</head><body>
<h3>Multiple indexes</h3>
<p>LaTeX's standard indexing capabilities (those provided by the
<i>makeidx</i> package) only provide for one index in your
document; even quite modest documents can be improved by indexes for
separate topics.
<p>The <i>multind</i> package provides simple and straightforward
multiple indexing. You tag each <code>\</code><code>makeindex</code>, <code>\</code><code>index</code> and
<code>\</code><code>printindex</code> command with a file name, and indexing commands are
written to (or read from) the name with the appropriate (<code>.idx</code> or
<code>.ind</code>) extension appended. The <code>\</code><code>printindex</code> command is modified
from the LaTeX standard so that it doesn't create its own chapter
or section heading; you therefore decide what names (or sectioning
level, even) to use for the indexes, and
<a href="FAQ-fixnam.html"><code>\</code><code>indexname</code></a> is completely ignored.
<p>To create a "general" and an "authors" index, one might write:
<blockquote>
<pre>
\usepackage{multind}
\makeindex{general}
\makeindex{authors}
...
\index{authors}{Robin Fairbairns}
...
\index{general}{FAQs}
...
\printindex{general}{General index}
\printindex{authors}{Author index}
</pre>
</blockquote>
To complete the job, run LaTeX on your file enough times that
labels, etc., are stable, and then execute the commands
<blockquote>
<pre>
makeindex general
makeindex authors
</pre>
</blockquote>
before running LaTeX again. Note that the names of the index files
to process are not necessarily related to the name of the LaTeX
file you're processing, at all. (There's no documentation that comes
with the package: what you see above is as good as you will
get...)
<p>The <i>index</i> package provides a comprehensive set of indexing
facilities, including a <code>\</code><code>newindex</code> command that allows the
definition of new styles of index. <code>\</code><code>newindex</code> takes a 'tag' (for
use in indexing commands), replacements for the <code>.idx</code> and
<code>.ind</code> file extensions, and a title for the index when it's
finally printed; it can also change the item that's being indexed
against (for example, one might have an index of artists referenced by
the figure number where their work is shown).
<p>Using <i>index</i>, to create an author index together with a
"normal" index, one would start with preamble commands:
<blockquote>
<pre>
\usepackage{index}
\makeindex
\newindex{aut}{adx}{and}{Name Index}
</pre>
</blockquote>
which load the package, define a "main" (original-style) index, and
then define an author index. Then, in the body of the document, we
might find commands like:
<blockquote>
<pre>
\index[aut]{Robin Fairbairns}
...
\index{FAQs}
</pre>
</blockquote>
Which place an entry in the author index, and then one in the main
index. At the end of the document, we have two commands:
<blockquote>
<pre>
\printindex
\printindex[aut]
</pre>
</blockquote>
Which will print the main index and then the author index. Supposing
this lot to be in <i>myfile.tex</i>, after enough runs through
LaTeX that labels are stable, execute the following commands
(Unix-style shell commands shown here, but the principle is the same
whatever system you're using):
<blockquote>
<pre>
makeindex myfile
makeindex myfile.adx -o myfile.and
</pre>
</blockquote>
and rerun LaTeX. The <i>makeindex</i> commands process
<i>myfile.idx</i> to <i>myfile.ind</i> (the default action), and then
<i>myfile.adx</i> to <i>myfile.and</i>, the two files needed as input
by the two <code>\</code><code>printindex</code> commands in <i>myfile.tex</i>.
<p>The <i>splitidx</i> package can operate in the same way as the
others: load the package with the <code>split</code> option, and
declare each index with a <code>\</code><code>newindex</code> command:
<blockquote>
<code>\</code><code>newindex[<<i>index name</i>>]{<<i>shortcut</i>>}</code>
</blockquote>
and <i>splitidx</i> will generate a file
<code>\</code><code>jobname</code><code>.<<i>shortcut</i>></code> to receive index entries
generated by commands like <code>\</code><code>sindex[<<i>shortcut</i>>]{<<i>item</i>>}</code>.
As with the other packages, this method is limited by TeX's total
number of output files. However, <i>splitindex</i> also comes with
a small executable <i>splitindex</i> (available for a variety of
operating systems); if you use this auxiliary program (and don't use
<code>split</code>), there's no limit to the number of indexes. Apart
from this trick, <i>splitidx</i> supports the same sorts of things
as does <i>index</i>. An example of use appears in
the documentation.
<p>The <i>memoir</i> class has its own multiple-index functionality (as
well as index layout options, which other packages delegate to the
index style used by <i>makeindex</i>.
