Having 2 indexes, how would I need to alter the following so that it
applies to a general (as opposed to authors) index?
Which package do you use to generate the two indices (to split the index)?
I use makeindex. My entry tags look like \index{general}{myentry}

MakeIndex alone does not feature multiple indices, i.e. something like
\index{general}{myentry}
So which package do you use for that? multind? index? splitindex?

You're right, sorry, it is multind.
Then add the following to the preamble (after \usepackage{multind}):
\makeatletter
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\columnseprule \z@ \columnsep 35pt
\begin{multicols}{2}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\end{multicols}}
\makeatother
Now the indices do not have a heading anymore, so you can add manually
\chapter{General index}
some text
\printindex{general}
\chapter{Author index}
some other text
\printindex{author}

The preamble is there. There is one remaining problem: my entries are then in
one column (instead of two) and are preceded by the number 2 which takes up a
line of its own.
I get the following errors while running LaTeX through the document:
LaTeX Error: \begin{document} ended by \end{multicols}
! LaTeX Error: Environment multicols undefined.

It is working perfectly now. Many many thanks from a stressed end-of-PhD

preamble in general index
I need a preamble to my general index, and I have found the following

Having 2 indexes, how would I need to alter the following so that it
applies to a general (as opposed to authors) index? (my almost-done phD
thesis has to do with humanities, not science sadly...) Many thanks.
