TeX - LaTeX Asked by Paul BRINZEI on July 8, 2021
I am trying to compile a book with multiple indexes. I am using indextools package with splitindex. I need to modify the index delimiter so I have created a .ist file with this content:
delim_0 ": "
delim_1 ": "
delim_2 ": "
here is also my functional example:
documentclass[a4paper,11pt,twoside,openright]{scrbook}
usepackage[makeindex,splitindex]{indextools}
makeindex[
name=person,
title=INDEX of Persons,
program=makeindex,
options={-s idxconf.ist},
]
makeindex[
name=word,
title=Index of Words,
program=makeindex,
options={-s idxconf.ist},
]
usepackage{blindtext}
begin{document}
Einsteinindex[person]{Einstein}
blindtext
newpage
Heisenbergindex[person]{Heisenberg} % Person index
blindtext[3]
index[word]{foo}index[person]{Bohr}
index[word]{bar}
blindtext
printindex[person]
printindex[word]
end{document}
I am using Mactex with Texlive and the delimiter is not changed.
Same code compiled on a windows pc is working just fine.
Is there a way to make it work on mac?
To complete the question: As has been pointed out by Dan and egreg in the comments, you need to make sure that (1) you use the option --shell-escape
when running LaTeX and (2) the .ist
-file is saved in the same folder as the .tex
-file.
Two additional points:
(1) You need --shell-escape
because you are invoking an external program. Some infos: What does --shell-escape do?
(2): It can be advisable to wrap the three lines your idxconf.ist
in a filecontents
-environment so the .ist
-file doesn’t straggle the next time you make use of configuring indices for another document.
documentclass[a4paper,11pt,twoside,openright]{scrbook}
usepackage[makeindex,splitindex]{indextools}
makeindex[
name=person,
title=INDEX of Persons,
program=makeindex,
options={-s idxconf.ist},
]
makeindex[
name=word,
title=Index of Words,
program=makeindex,
options={-s idxconf.ist},
]
usepackage{blindtext}
begin{filecontents}{idxconf.ist}
delim_0 ": "
delim_1 ": "
delim_2 ": "
end{filecontents}
begin{document}
Einsteinindex[person]{Einstein}
blindtext
newpage
Heisenbergindex[person]{Heisenberg} % Person index
blindtext[3]
index[word]{foo}index[person]{Bohr}
index[word]{bar}
blindtext
printindex[person]
printindex[word]
end{document}
