Hello,
I have a book in LyX that I have almost finished. Now I want to add an
index of persons.
I'd imagine a workflow like this:
- Next to the name Arthur Smith I create an index entry box 'Smith, Arthur'.
- I copy the name and the box.
- Using advanced find and replace I paste the text and box

Which brings up another issue that might be a wrench in the gears:
different standards for indexes

There are plenty of word you don't want to index
