I've created an index externally and it has abbreviations and terms not
necessarily in the text body but could be what a reader seeks to find. Is
there a way for me to add the index? Perhaps by manually adding a 2-column
unnumbered chapter after the bibliography?
I made an unnumbered chapter (Index) after the bibliography and use two
small spaces (Ctrl-spacebar) to inset subheadings. But, continuation lines
are not inset and I would like your advice on how to make a cleaner-looking
index.
A MWE (.lyx and .pdf) are attached.
TIA,
