Sorry to be "spamming" but after sending my post I realized that it was a
bit strange of me not to try what would happen without the multicols
begin/end-pair, and just call \printauthorindex. When I remove the multi
column stuff, no extra two pages are generated, which should probably be
relevant for you people...
But the main problem remains, of course.
What I can tell you about LyX is that it cannot run additional scripts
during LaTeX processing yet. And probably will not, as I it should
assume you have perl installed on your machine, which is often a
problem on Macs or Windows.
There are possible solutions to create your own converter calling the
perl script after first latex run. But you have then define your own
format, for example 'pdflatex (authorindex)'.
Thank you very much for the reply!
This is precisely what I was hoping for. (I do have perl installed on my
Mac.) However, it is not clear to me how to get the authorindex script
running by making a converter. When I got XeTeX running in LyX I made a
converter, so I have a vague idea how converters work in LyX, but in
that case I just followed instructions that were available and I can't
say that I understand more precisely what to type in ther in order to
make it call authorindex. Can I just add something to the field called
"Converter" (currently saying "xelatex $$i")? What should I write there?
The authorindex script is supposed to have the .aux file produced by
latex as argument.
Thanks again!
Best,
Mats
