I've noticed that unlike makeindex and texindy, xindy does not produce a .ind file that should be processed by latex and create an index list, but only an .idx file, which usually gets converted to .ind file. On the first page of Xindy manual it is stated that "xindy is the formatter-indepedent command of xindy, the flexible indexing system. It takes a raw index as input, and produces a merged, sorted and tagged index. Merging, sorting, and tagging is controlled by xindy style files. Files with the raw index are passed as arguments. If no arguments are passed, the raw index will be read from standard input. xindy is completely described in its manual that you will find on its Web Site, http://www.xindy.org/. A good introductionary description appears in the indexing chapter of the LaTeX Companion (2nd ed.) If you want to produce an index for LaTeX documents, the command texindy (1) is probably more of inter- est for you. It is a wrapper for xindy that turns on many LaTeX conventions by default." So it seems you should use texindy and not xindy directly. I also suggest that after you switch from xindy to texindy (or makeindex) in the preferences menu, open the temporary directory where lyx compiles all the files (to do so, create a latex error on purpose by writing \undefined in ERT for example, press on view complete log, and then open containing directory), and delete all the files there (or atleast files with .idx and .ind extensions).

I did that yesterday and I have the little white-filled box with 'Index' placed after the bibliography. But, when the file is compiled with pdflatex there's no index at the end. That's the part I'm missiing. Thanks, Rich -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

Generating index when compiling document
Section 6.6.6 (Index Program) in the User Guide told me to look in the document's preferences for the index-related tools installed here. I have both xindy and makeindex installed (xindy is the default selection), and I've no idea what options I might want to use with it (following the link in the manual showed me the available options.) Regardless, what do I do to have the index generated and appended to the document after the References (Bibliography)? I don't see that in the index section of the UG. It was in 2004 when I last generated a book index and I've not remembered what I did then. :-) Regards, Rich -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
