Discussion:
creating an Index for a document

Hi,
I've written a large file which is splitted in to several small files. I
included them with the 'include'-command.
Now, I want to create an Idex at the end of my document. I'm using the
package 'makeidx' and I gave the command
'\makeindex' in the preamble and also the command '\printindex' at the
end of the document. I compiled the file three times, but nothing happens.
Then I turned the main file into a 'project' but it didn't change anything.
At last I created a new file with only an Index and it worked ! But it
won't work with my existing file. I also choose 'use makeindex' at the
project properties.
I think it is a problem with TeXincCenter.

Does somebody know, what I'm doing wrong?
Or at least, can someone give me a very detailed explanation, how to
create a file with index with TeXnicCenter?

Thank you very much,

Yannick

Hello,

As nobody answered!
I think this is a very FAQ question!

Did you insert \index{} commands in the text?
Did check the option "Do not use MakeIndex in this profile" in the
definition of the output profile (Build menu)

That's all I can suggest for now, send me some files for test!

Thank you for your answer. I copied your e-mail from '\documentclass'

din't get an index.
I didn't used a project.
I tried the same with a project. I selected 'use MakeIndex'.
I didn't get an index either.

Any suggestions?

Hi Alain,
here are my files. I do not have any *.idl or *.ind files. Maybe this is
the problem.
As I told you, I do have a file, where the index is working. This file
does have *.idl and *.ind files. But I couldn't see any difference in
the *.tex file. So here I send you everything. Since I'm using a lot of
own commands (sorry), I send you the commands too.
I added all files you requested but the two mentioned above, cause they
are missing.
I hope you can help me, and thank you in advance for your help,

If you do not use a TexNicCenter project you have to launch manually the
makeindex.exe program with the name of your .tex file as argument
(without extension). This programm reads the .idx file resulting from
the \index{} commands , and generates a .ind file as output and a .ilg
file as log.
The \printindex command uses the .ind file to put the index in the
resulting document

I also suggest the index package, and , of course, using a TexNicCenter
project where you have to check the "Use MakeIndex" in the project's
options( Project -> Properties) , and to uncheck the "Do not use
MakeIndex in this profile" in the profile's definition (Build -> Define
output profile -> the_profile(eg: LaTeX => DVI) -> LaTeX tab

Hi Mihai,
as I learned from you and others, the command \index{Indexentry} creats
entries in the *-idx file.
So now, the file contains all my index-entries. And when I run the
makeindex from TeXnicCenter, it says:
"Input Index file C:\Dokumente.......\Name not found"
(note that the extantion *.idx is NOT added)
When I do the same with another file (the one which is working) it says:
Scanning input file C:\Dokumente.......\Name.idx....done"
(note that the extantion *.idx IS added)

After all I found the makeindex-programm and then I ran the *.idx file
manually. This did work.
Ho ever, with the orther file everything wokrs properly, and it would be
nice, if I could create the Index with TeXnicCenter.

Thanks for everyone to help me, I wouldn't have solved this problem alone.

Hello Yannick,

Can be something wrong in the filename ? Maybe some accents or non-latin
chars ?
As Alain asked you, please post the files. I didn't find them in your
previous post.

That is a VERY good idea. I never thaought about that. It is true, that
I have special chars in my file-name.
Oh, I just renamed my file, but it is still the same. The *.idx file is
createt correctly, but the *.ind file is missing :(

I did receive the files and I could without any problem compile (3x) and
get a document with the index.

So the problem is not in the files, but from within TeXnicCenter.
I am not saying it is TeXC, perhaps a bad profile design. Later!

I did it as a normal file, not as a project (I just had to change somes
pathes for the inputed macro files.
But now I'll have a deeper look for the problem.

I'll see if I can put it on my website for download.

Alain Delmotte

I agree with you, that the problem doesn't come from the files, cause
otherwise it shouldn't have worked for the other ohne.

Hello Yannik,

If I run from command prompt the command
makeindex EinfÃŒhrung_in_die_theoretische_Physik_II
, I get the following output to the console:

This is makeindex, version 2.14 [02-Oct-2002] (kpathsea + Thai support).
Scanning input file Einfⁿhrung_in_die_theoretische_Physik_II.idx....done

Output written in Einfⁿhrung_in_die_theoretische_Physik_II.ind.

In the log file (.ilg) there is a line that says:

-- Illegal null field.


Do you have makeindex 2.14 on your computer ? Maybe a prior version will
stop at this error and will not generate the .ind file...

Hi Mihai Cazac,
as you know, the index didn't work for only one file. For the others it
does work. So I just ran the makeindex program by my self and created
the *.ind-file. This worked fine.
But unfortunately, I have another problem now. When I try to run the
makeindex program, windows says.
"Dies ist keine zulÀssige Win32-Anwendung."
But it worked one week ago, and I didn't change anything.
I have the newes miktex (2.5). Do you know what it could be?
Thanks for reply,

Hi there,

I'm using the natbib package and the 'apsr' style for the bibliography style...it does two things I'd like to change:

1. it automatically starts the references on a new page (i'd like it to start on the same page as where I input it)

2. it only responds to @Article and @Book, and doesn't acknowledge institutions as author names...For example - If I wanted World Bank as an author, it cites it as Bank, World...how do I avoid that? (Author = {World Bank} - doesn't work...neither does Organization = {World Bank})

Thanks

Polina

Hello Yannick,

I've found your files. :) and downloaded them;
I have done the followings:

1. Opened the project
2. Select the LaTeX => DVI profile
3. In the main file I had deleted the " ../../../../" strings in the
input commands for mathcommands, physikcommands, etc because these
files are in the current directory
4. Build the project (F7) - two times
5. Watch the .DVI (F5) and found the index at page 28
6. Select the LaTeX => PDF profile
7. Build the project (F7) - there resulted a lot of errors!
8. Select the LaTeX => DVI profile again
9. Build the project
10. Archived the directory and attached to this mail

See the .DVI file and the .LOG file and also the .IDX and .ILG files
I'm using MikTeX 2.5 and TexNicCenter 7.01


I cannot figure what is happening on your computer... Try with the
archive attached...

Hi Mihai,
as I learned from you and others, the command \index{Indexentry} creats
entries in the *-idx file.
So now, the file contains all my index-entries. And when I run the
"Input Index file C:\Dokumente. ......\Name not found"
(note that the extantion *.idx is NOT added)
Scanning input file C:\Dokumente. ......\Name. idx....done"
(note that the extantion *.idx IS added)
After all I found the makeindex-programm and then I ran the *.idx file
manually. This did work.
Ho ever, with the orther file everything wokrs properly, and it would be
nice, if I could create the Index with TeXnicCenter.
Thanks for everyone to help me, I wouldn't have solved this problem alone.
Yannick

I had exactly the same problem and I could solve it with the PERL-Skript
ixgen (see http://www.iit.upcomillas.es/~oscar/ixgen/ ) which indicated
me a mexican or spanish member of this user group.
Unfortunately I have a bad memory. What I remember is: perl.exe, ixgen
and the involved latex file must be in the same folder. Writing
index.map with any editor and saving under the name "index.map" in the
same folder. C:\...\perl ixgen.pl <latexfile> then generates the
requested latexfile under <latexfile>-idx.tex.

Perhaps this may help a little.
Best regards
Helmut

Hi,
I've written a large file which is splitted in to several small files. I
included them with the 'include'-command.
Now, I want to create an Idex at the end of my document. I'm using the
package 'makeidx' and I gave the command
'\makeindex' in the preamble and also the command '\printindex' at the
end of the document. I compiled the file three times, but nothing happens.
Then I turned the main file into a 'project' but it didn't change anything.
At last I created a new file with only an Index and it worked ! But it
won't work with my existing file. I also choose 'use makeindex' at the
project properties.
I think it is a problem with TeXincCenter.
Does somebody know, what I'm doing wrong?
Or at least, can someone give me a very detailed explanation, how to
create a file with index with TeXnicCenter?
Thank you very much,
Yannick
