I created a new index ct and have entries like
@ctindex Package @subentry diag @subentry mat_function
@ctindex Package @subentry distrib @subentry pdf_normal
The index in the pdf file looks something like
Package,
diag,
mat_function <page>
distrib,
pdf_normal <page>
This looks really, really nice.
But the html version looks like
P
Package, diag, mat_function: Functions and Variables for diag
Package, distrib, pdf_normal: Normal Random Variable
This is perfectly usable, but it would be nice if it could be arranged a
bit more like the pdf manual to make the distinction between the subentries
better. I was kind of expecting something more like the pdf version which
is nice because it shows the hierarchy of the subentries very nicely.
I'm basically trying to replace Documentation Categories
<https://maxima.common-lisp.dev/docs/maxima_407.html> that is generated by
using a bunch of scripts to extract categories in the texi sources. Using
a new index pretty much works just fine at the expense of a one-time cost
of manually adding all the index entries. It would be nice if the html
index looked more like the pdf index. Or at least separated out the
2-level subentries a little better.
