Hi,
Please try the attached patch, to add to the previous one. With this new
patch:
* the xindy language is found from the document lang
* xindy now works with latin1 (pdftex) or utf8 (xetex) input encoding (my
assumptions is the previous mail is wrong)
So you can do:
dblatex -Platex.index.tool=xindy doc.xml
It uses 'norwegian' as known xindy language since it is mapped to 'nb' in
the xindylang.xml
Or:
dblatex -bxetex -Platex.index.tool=xindy doc.xml
Of course you can force the xindy language as before if you wish:
dblatex -bxetex -Platex.index.tool=xindy -Platex.index.language=german-din
doc.xml
Give me your feedbacks,
Regards,
BG

Hi,
Can you try the following patch that makes Xindy work as expected? To
use it:
dblatex -bxetex -Platex.index.tool=xindy
-Platex.index.language=norwegian doc.xml
It is a temporary patch, in the final patch the index module will be
able to select the xindy language from the document language when
possible.
Note that the sorting doesn't work well with xindy and pdftex because
pdftex uses commands in the index to emulate the non latin characters,
that xindy don't know. With xetex it seems to work fine.
Tell me if it works for the whole book.

Could be. But should not '<book lang="nb">' tell dblatex to do the
right thing for Norwegian Bokmål? :)
One could think about making the default backend language dependent.
@Benoît: putting you into the loop: what do you think about this idea?

I did, using 'dblatex -b xetex sort-order-test.xml', and the new
index end up with this ordering instead:
Alle inne
Bare tull
Åndalsnes
Ærlig talt
Øvrigheten
The 'Symbols' header is gone, as there is no symbols/letter headers in
this version. Still wrong ordering, though, but different. It should
be
Alle inne
Bare tull
Ærlig talt
Øvrigheten
Åndalsnes
Hm, this would be a XeTeX problem, dblatex just emits a \printindex
command.
