The following email contains a patch that will cause the latex export
preprocessor to rewrite #+INDEX: lines in an org file into LaTeX style
\index{} entries.
As far as I can tell, this should be The Right Thing --- latex doesn't seem
to do anything bad if there are index entries without makeindex. So no
downside. And it doesn't seem right to have to do #+INDEX for HTML export
and #+LATEX: \index{} for latex export.
I believe that this should be complemented by some additional code that
would:
1. Add code to turn on and off index generation and appropriately add the
makeindex package and the \makeindex
2. Possibly add code to turn /off/ this translation in the case where the
user wishes to have HTML and Latex documents indexed differently.
Cheers,
