Re: Charater formatting in the Index

[Ted Carnevale]

So now I can edit index entries so that they preserve character
formatting.  Example--
View/Source shows \texttt{keyword}
After Insert index entry source shows \index{keyword}\texttt{keyword}
Changing \index{keyword} to \index{texttt{keyword}} results in the
typewriter family being used for keyword in the index.

While this preserves character formatting, it introduces a new problem:
sort order in the index changes.  The DVI and PDF show that words
rendered in the typewriter family are listed before words rendered in
roman.  Not a useful result, given that I'm working on the 2nd edition
of a book whose index is 45 double-column pages.

I wonder if LyX 1.6.x has the same problem(s).

Any formatting you use in the index entry itself should be preserved in 
the index. In 1.6.x, you can just enter that formatting as you would in 
normal LyX text. If you're using 1.5.x, then you have to enter it 
manually, as LaTeX.


Does this apply also to table of contents entries?
