Re: Customizing the index
Customizing the index can been be made even more comfortable than Herbert describes: make a script 'lyx' in your ~/bin directory: #!/bin/bash export PATH=~/lyxbin:$PATH /usr/bin/lyx -width 900 -height 700 $* make a script 'makeindex' in the ~/lyxbin directory: #!/bin/bash # wrapper script for makeindex (to be called from lyx) # copy the indexstyle (document_base_name.mst) to the directory $INDEXSTYLE. # if this file does not exist, $ISTDEFAULT is used instead. # if this also does not exist, no style file is used. # The .idx file can be filtered through a program named $FILTER. INDEXSTYLE=~/indexstyles ISTDEFAULT=default.ist FILTER=cat MAKEINDEX=/usr/bin/makeindex # LyX (1.1.5fix1) calls makeindex with "makeindex -c -q idxfile" IDXFILE=$3 BASE=`basename $IDXFILE .idx` INDFILE=$BASE.ind MSTFILE=$BASE.mst ILGFILE=$BASE.ilg [ -f $INDEXSTYLE/$ISTDEFAULT ] STYLE="-s $ISTDEFAULT" [ -f $INDEXSTYLE/$MSTFILE ] STYLE="-s $MSTFILE" export INDEXSTYLE $FILTER $IDXFILE | $MAKEINDEX -c -q $STYLE -o $INDFILE -t $ILGFILE Now you can customize everything in the new 'makeindex' script. The minimum is to create a file ~/indexstyles/default.ist, which changes the index layout for _all_ documents. -- Thomas Henlich
