Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : latex-indexbuild Version : 1.0 Upstream Author : Mathieu Roy * URL or Web page : https://gna.org/projects/latex-indexbuild/ * License : GPL Description : a tool to build indexes in LaTeX
LaTeX Indexbuilder is a tool for building indexes in LaTeX. It looks inside a LaTeX document for a given list of words and add necessary LaTeX stuff inside, in order to build a clean index. It does not handle the output made out of \index calls by LaTeX, it just takes care that every words in a list are correctly identified with the command \index without you doing the boring job by hand. To do something with the .idx file created by LaTeX, you should take a look to mendex (for example). It depends only on Perl. It is already packaged for Debian, but in an ugly-just-working way, and no documentation is cleanly provided (only the README). I would gladly collaborate with anybody willing to maintain the package in Debian. -- Mathieu Roy +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | General Homepage: http://yeupou.coleumes.org/ | | Computing Homepage: http://alberich.coleumes.org/ | | Not a native english speaker: | | http://stock.coleumes.org/doc.php?i=/misc-files/flawed-english | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+
