Aw: Re: Index is not displayed
Hi Riki, many thanks for your response. I have a few questions about your suggestions that I would like to quote: I have sometimes had trouble with the index not displaying the first time I export a file. If I change something trivial (add a space at the end of a paragraph, say) and re-export, then it appears. I have already made many, many changes to my 250-page book, which is far from finished. There will probably have been spaces at the end of some paragraphs. Unfortunately that had no effect. One way to try to debug this would be to export the file to LaTeX and run everything manually. Unfortunately I don't understand this: How do I export the file to LaTeX and how do I do everything manually? Or just launch LyX from a terminal, and watch the output when you export. How do I start LyX from a terminal? And how do I observe the output when exporting? Andreas Gesendet: Samstag, 13.

Even if, as you suggested, I use makeindex as the processor and enter the option "-s german.ist" (Jürgen commented that he cannot find german.ist on his computer), the index is not displayed.

Sorry - I included the wrong file. The file that I am now attaching
also matches the text that I wrote in my first email. In this version
the index does not work.
In your preamble you have
- \emergencystretch 1.5em
This is _not_ a good idea. Should only be used in _rare cases_ if TeX is not
able to justify a paragraph. Then you can use instead
\begin{sloppypar}
text...
\end{sloppypar}
With a global setting of emergencystretch you get Word-like documents ...
- \setlength{\parskip}{\medskipamount}
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
This is nonsense for KOMAScript documents. Use the optional class setting
parskip=half-
- You are using the font LinixLibertine which is for ages
obsolet. Use
Libertinus Serif and Libertinus Sans instead.
- For your options of your makeindex you have:
-s german.ist -t MWE_Index.ilg -o MWE_Index.idx
That's wrong! You define -o MWE_Index.idx as output file, the reason
why you overwrite the input datafile, which is by default MWE_Index.idx.
Use only
-s german.ist
oder simply xindex as Indexprocessor with optional argument
-l de

Removing these two arguments, i.e. reducing it all to -t MWE_Index.ilg gives me the index in output.
