Well I understand that makeindex is not perfect and doesn't handle non-English languages well, but it is configurable and well-documented. I have done some nice indexes with it. For example I prefer that the letter headings be capitalized, centered and set off with em dashes. That is simple in makeindex but would take a long discussion here on the group for Context, possibly pulling you and Hans away from more critical work. Even with Xindy I will need to either copy or create some macros to spin off the input file and import the output file. Are there objections to makeindex (beyond the limitations in handling other European languages) that motivate you to discard it? Best, John Culleton
