Is it possible to make different words (or forms of the same word) point to the same index entry while including all the original words in the index? For example, I can make "simulacrum" and "simulacra" have the same entry by usng the same index label, but I can only then have one word in the index; i.e.,
simulacrum, 6, 8, 16
You can find the solution in the LaTeX documentation. You've got some posibilities:
If you want the output something like
simulacra, simulacrum, 6, 8, 16
the only thing you have to do is to use the following keyword in the index entry: "simulacra, simulacrum", every time that word appears. (I think it could be a little annoying)
Yes!
However, if you'd like an output like
simulacra - see simulacrum simulacrum, 6, 8, 16
you always have to use the keyword "simulacrum" wherever you need a reference. You only have to add an index entry with the keyword "simulacra|see{simulacrum}", or "simulacra!\ |see{simulacrum}", at any place in the document (only once).
The word "see" is compulsory. It'll be translated to your language when you get the DVI or PDF file.
If you want more information, go to http://www-h.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/textprocessing/makeindex.dvi
You have to put the word(s) between brackets in the keyword of the index entry. e.g. If you see \index{bites!vegetable}, you have to use the words bites!vegetable as keyword.
I wish it help you.
Thanks, this does the trick! There are some other useful documents on the site you mentioned - I'm currentlydownloading the guide to making glossaries.
