I don't see how this can be done with a macro, but I'm quite willing to believe that I don't know enough texinfo. AFAIK @cindex \foo adds "\foo" to the index. Is there any way we could write @cindex \foo foo to mean "sort this in location 'foo', but print out '\foo'" ? or even better, automatically redefine @cindex \foo to remove any backslash from the sort-order but still print the backslash? > Looking at the Texinfo source, it would appear that the main makeinfo > engine uses the locale-aware system sorting routines, so it is > conceivable that calling Texinfo with a suitable LC_COLLATE setting > might do the trick on systems having locales supporting this kind of > order. ... no clue what LC_COLLATE is. Anyway, if you can produce a proof-of-concept demonstration of \foo being sorted in any index without the backslash, then I'll gladly organize a policy discussion on exactly how we want to write the index entries, and exactly how we want the index(es) to look. - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
