Did something about indexes change between 1.5.x and 1.6.x?
Hi all,
Indexing on several of my books failed after I moved from Mandriva/LyX1.5.x to
Ubuntu/LyX1.6.x.
Here are some errors from the .ilg file:
=
This is makeindex, version 2.14 [02-Oct-2002] (kpathsea + Thai support).
Scanning style file ./rl_21.ist..done (2 attributes redefined, 0 ignored).
Scanning input file RL21.jqVMOhYaDS.idx
!! Input index error (file = RL21.jqVMOhYaDS.idx, line = 14):
-- Extra `@' at position 10 of first argument.
!! Input index error (file = RL21.jqVMOhYaDS.idx, line = 15):
-- Extra `@' at position 10 of first argument.
!! Input index error (file = RL21.jqVMOhYaDS.idx, line = 16):
-- Extra `@' at position 20 of first argument.
=
And here are lines 12-16 of the .ind file. Note lines 12 and 13 produce no
error, but are just included to exploit the differences:
=
\indexentry{Ph.D.|see{post graduate degree}}{i}
\indexentry{Cobol|hyperpage}{1}
\indexentry{college|(@college\textbar {}(}{2}
\indexentry{college|)@college\textbar{})}{2}
\indexentry{community college|(@community college\textbar {}(}{2}
=
In fact, line 14 that references college|( was the first index entry in the
file
to specify a range rather than this page like lines 12 and 13.
The following is the LyX file's entry corresponding to college|( and college|)
and the material in between:
=
\begin_layout Subsection
\begin_inset LatexCommand index
name college|(
\end_inset
College
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
College is great for learning unchanging principles, and unchanging principles
can be very handy in technological survival.
However, college is an ineffective way to keep up with technology.
College courses typically teach technology two to ten years old in a world
with two year technology lifespans.
\begin_inset LatexCommand index
name college|)
\end_inset
\end_layout
=
Finally, the following is the contents of my makeidx config file, which is
called rl_21.ist
=
suffix_2p
delim_r --
=
So, before I devote 4 hours to troubleshooting, does anyone have any
suggestions on what to try either to resolve the problem or how to narrow it
down?
Thanks

I no longer have 1.5.x, but it doesn't matter. From scratch I created a tiny

Re: Did something about indexes change between 1.5.x and 1.6.x?
OK, I've researched it a little more, and during the lyx --export latex, LyX
is converting a LyX idx inset containing chapter 2|( without the quotes to
the following LaTeX:
\index{chapter 2|(@chapter 2\textbar{}(}
The stuff from the @ through the last ( is superflous and causes errors. I
have two choices:
1) Get LyX to quit adding the stuff between the @ and the trailing ( or ) when
converting from LyX to latex, or
2) Create a computer program to go through my entire LaTeX file after export,
and remove all of those little extras. That would be incredibly kludgy and I'd
prefer not do do it.
So does anyone know why LyX 1.6.3 adds the extraneous material on range index
entries, and how I can turn off this behavior?
Thanks

LyX adds the stuf _before_ the @ to ensure that the entries are sorted
correctly. For example if you have \index{\LyX}, then this would be
sorted on top of the list, not among the other index entries that start
with an l. Therefore lyx outputs \index{...@\lyx}.
LyX does so whenever there is any character in the entry that is
'escaped' or a macro. In your case, LyX clearly thinks that he has to
translate | into \textbar{}... , but this is wrong. LyX has learned to
recognize the |.
Your testfile works perfectly for me with 1.6.3.

And here are lines 12-16 of the .ind file. Note lines 12 and 13 produce no
error, but are just included to exploit the differences:
=
\indexentry{Ph.D.|see{post graduate degree}}{i}
\indexentry{Cobol|hyperpage}{1}
\indexentry{college|(@college\textbar {}(}{2}
\indexentry{college|)@college\textbar{})}{2}
\indexentry{community college|(@community college\textbar {}(}{2}
=
In fact, line 14 that references college|( was the first index entry in the
file
to specify a range rather than "this page" like lines 12 and 13.
The following is the LyX file's entry corresponding to college|( and college|)
and the material in between:
=
\begin_layout Subsection
\begin_inset LatexCommand index
name "college|("
\end_inset
College
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
College is great for learning unchanging principles, and unchanging principles
can be very handy in technological survival.
However, college is an ineffective way to keep up with technology.
College courses typically teach technology two to ten years old in a world
with two year technology lifespans.
\begin_inset LatexCommand index
name "college|)"
\end_inset
\end_layout
=
Finally, the following is the contents of my makeidx config file, which is
called rl_21.ist
=
suffix_2p " "
delim_r "--"
=
So, before I devote 4 hours to troubleshooting, does anyone have any
suggestions on what to try either to resolve the problem or how to narrow it
down?
Thanks

So, before I devote 4 hours to troubleshooting, does anyone have any suggestions on what to try either to resolve the problem or how to narrow it down? 4 Hours!? I thought you were the troubleshooting guru! (Sorry - couldn't resist) ;-)

When a fellow technician asked him how he fixed so many stereos every day, he said his fingers were like divining rods leading him to the bad transistor. I still haven't gotten that divining rod thing down, so 4 hours is still my story and I'm still sticking to it :-) But YOU can make it 10 minutes if you just tell me what changed about indexing between 1.5.x and 1.6.x. :-) SteveT

I no longer have 1.5.x, but it doesn't matter. From scratch I created a tiny
LyX file using book document class, with one "right here" index entries, and
two "from here --- to here" entries. Here's how you reproduce the symptom:
lyx --export latex index_bug_simp.lyx
latex index_bug_simp.tex
makeindex index_bug_simp.idx
Here is the resulting .ilg file -- note the errors where I had index ranges:
==
This is makeindex, version 2.14 [02-Oct-2002] (kpathsea + Thai support).
Scanning input file index_bug_simp.idx
!! Input index error (file = index_bug_simp.idx, line = 2):
-- Extra `@' at position 12 of first argument.
!! Input index error (file = index_bug_simp.idx, line = 3):
-- Extra `@' at position 12 of first argument.
!! Input index error (file = index_bug_simp.idx, line = 4):
-- Extra `@' at position 12 of first argument.
!! Input index error (file = index_bug_simp.idx, line = 5):
-- Extra `@' at position 12 of first argument.
done (1 entries accepted, 4 rejected).
Sorting entries...done (0 comparisons).
Generating output file index_bug_simp.inddone (5 lines written, 0
warnings).
Output written in index_bug_simp.ind.
Transcript written in index_bug_simp.ilg.
==
And the following is the .idx file producing those errors. Note the
misconfiguration of all index entries that were ranges:
==
\indexentry{chapter 1}{1}
\indexentry{chapter 2|(@chapter 2\textbar {}(}{2}
\indexentry{chapter 2|)@chapter 2\textbar{})}{2}
\indexentry{chapter 3|(@chapter 3\textbar {}(}{3}
\indexentry{chapter 3|)@chapter 3\textbar{})}{3}
==
How did the at sign (@) and \textbar get put in there? I specified no specific
formatting.
Anyway, index_bug_simp.lyx is attached.

index_bug_simp.lyx
Description: application/lyx
Re: Did something about indexes change between 1.5.x and 1.6.x?
OK, I've researched it a little more, and during the lyx --export latex, LyX
is converting a LyX idx inset containing "chapter 2|(" without the quotes to
the following LaTeX:
\index{chapter 2|(@chapter 2\textbar{}(}
The stuff from the "@" through the last "(" is superflous and causes errors. I
have two choices:
1) Get LyX to quit adding the stuff between the @ and the trailing ( or ) when
converting from LyX to latex, or
2) Create a computer program to go through my entire LaTeX file after export,
and remove all of those little extras. That would be incredibly kludgy and I'd
prefer not do do it.
So does anyone know why LyX 1.6.3 adds the extraneous material on range index
entries, and how I can turn off this behavior?
Thanks

LyX adds the stuf _before_ the @ to ensure that the entries are sorted
correctly. For example if you have \index{\LyX}, then this would be
sorted on top of the list, not among the other index entries that start
with an l. Therefore lyx outputs \index{...@\lyx}.
LyX does so whenever there is any character in the entry that is
'escaped' or a macro. In your case, LyX clearly thinks that he has to
translate | into \textbar{}... , but this is wrong. LyX has learned to
recognize the |.
Your testfile works perfectly for me with 1.6.3.
