Hi, Xindy is an alternative command to generate indexes. It supports a lisp syntax-like language for specifying how to format entries, e.g., whether to use number ranges, and how to sort entries etc. Xindy is a program for handling indexing for multiple formats, including TeX/LaTeX for which purpose there's texindy.
I just added an entry to TeX-command-list, as the program uses the same output from LaTeX, but you can specify some extra switches, e.g., one for handling German, and which style file to use (if not using the default). It's merely a suggestion, but shouldn't there be a tool button for the index command? ChangeLog entry: 2013-03-05 Mads Jensen <[email protected]> * tex.el (TeX-command-list): Added support for xindy. -- Med Venlig Hilsen / Kind Regards, Mads Jensen Rubinsteinsvej 31,st.th DK-2450 Kbh.
