Hullo Frederick,
Back at the start of October, you asked on the list about semi-automatic
indexing. Richard Heck suggested this was the kind of thing that could
be done with a script. It occurred to me that I might be able to
elaborate the find-&-replace script of the pLyX system
(http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/PLyXSystem) to perform this function. I've
now done so. The last section of the document describing the workings of
the find-&-replace script describes how to use it for semi-automatic
indexing.
As with all pLyX scripts, it is used from within the LyX GUI and is
activated by clicking on toolbar buttons. You fill a custom inset with
the terms you want to look for (and how you want them to appear in the
index), and the script chews through the list item-by-item looking
through the document for occurrences of those terms and attaching an
index inset to each occurrence.
The main problem in setting up the pLyX system is defining two new file
formats and converters. Otherwise it's just a case of distributing files
to folders. The documentation accompanying the system, at the link
given, I hope describes what to do clearly.
