I have a document with thousands of index entries. Here’s a samplecode:
\starttext
Some people livedin \index{cliff-dwelling}cliff-dwellings, while others lived
in\index{lean-to}lean-tos.
\placeindex
\stoptext
This produces anindex like this:
c
cliff-dwelling 1
l
lean-to 1
I’d like to createan index with much more sub-categories to find the same
entries, forinstance, a category of “dwellings”:
c
cliff-dwelling 1
d
dwellings
cliff-dwelling 1
lean-to 1
l
lean-to 1
As I’m aware, theway to code this is as follows:
\starttext
Some people
livedin\index{cliff-dwelling}\index{dwellings+cliff-dwelling}cliff-dwellings,while
others lived in\index{lean-to}\index{dwellings+lean-to}lean-tos.
\placeindex
\stoptext
I’m wondering ifthere is a short-cut means to set this up, such that if I can
tellthe document that any time it sees “cliff-dwellings” in an index,it will
also add its page numbers to under “dwellings+cliff-dwelling”? In other words,
is there an easierway to add these categories, then to go through the entire
documentand mark them? I already have a list of all the words.
For instance, in my above code, I must find every \index{cliff-dwelling} entry
and add a \index{dwellings+cliff-dwelling} next to it...which would take
hundreds of hours if I did that for every word. Is there a quicker way to tell
it always also add it under "dwellings" too?
