\makeindex problem

Hi,

I tried out your Code by adding some text before the index:

\documentclass{kapmono}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\usepackage{multicol}
\makeindex
\begin{document}
test
\index{xx!zz}
\index{xx!yy}
\printindex
\end{document}

Works fine for me - do you have some corrupted version of kapmono.cls/sty?

Found my ones here:

Greetings
Kris

Betreff: [TXC-Users] \makeindex problem
Hello everybody!
I'm using TeXnicCenter for Windows to compile my tex files. It's a
monography, an old Kluwer style kapmono. It gives a pretty good .ps
or .pdf. Anyway I need to make an index and my \makeindex \index{xx!
zz}
\printindex does not seem to work, nothing happens. The syntax is as
follows
\documentclass{kapmono}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\usepackage{multicol}
\makeindex
\begin{document}
\index{xx!zz}
\index{xx!yy}
\printindex
\end{document}
Please help!!!
Thanks!

Hello,

As Kristof writes, you need some text to at least create one page.

Also check if in the definition of the output profiles (Build /Define
output profiles) the check box "Do not use MakeIndex in this profile" is
checked or not (it should not to use makeindex).
Also do not forget to compile at least 2-3 times.

I hope this helps,

Alain

Thank you guys!
I put in the kapmono version you suggested. The only difference is that the doc became more compact: instead of 290 pages - 288 pages. But \makeindex does not work...I've got the following info in the .ILG file
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
This is C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\miktex\bin\makeindex.exe, version 2.14 [02-Oct-2002] (kpathsea + Thai support).
Scanning input file E:\...!! Input index error (file = E:\..., line = 1):
-- Missing arguments -- need two (premature LFD).

done (1 entries accepted, 6 rejected).

And, whatever number of index enties I make with \index{}, it is always the same message in the ILG file. IND file is empty.

Hi Yarsky,

okay - seems to be more delicate...

...my first idea - the error results cos' of
some kind of package incompatibilities.

So one way to find the problem is to eleminate
the packages in the document by out-commenting
(%...) one by one.

Can You provide us your complete preamble?
(Everything before \begin{document})

Best regards
Kris

Hi!

Replacing this preamble in the ECM you provided before, I had to comment
m-times, which I don't have.
After this I got an error: \begin{theindex} endind by \end{multicols}.
Commenting \usepackage{multicol} solved the problem. Changing the
relative position of makidx and multicol didn't bring a solution.

Of course if you need multicol for the document itself!!!

Hi Yarsky.

Alain has done the work I suggested - he found out that for kapmono-style
reloading the multicol-package is not compatible to the makeidx-package,
i.e. the index-format defined by kapmono-style is already using the multicol-package,
but redefines it in a special way - so reloading will destroy the definition and produces
the error!

So all You have to to is to delete \usepackage{multicol} in You preamble - don't
worry it's automotically loaded by kapmono.sty so You can still use it!!!

Best wishes

Kris

Hi Yarsky, again!

just some short note about usage of \index{}:

Example:

... \index{Explorer} ... gives

Explorer.............................3

... \index{File!open} ... \index{File!close} ... gives

File, close...........................4
open...........................5

so \index{entry1!entry2} should be more like:

\index{mainentry!subentry}

and if You want to use more than one referenceword,
You have to use:

\index{mainentry1} \index{mainentry2}

Is that the source of Your error?

Greetings
Kris

what would you recommend to put in the profile when configuring the path to makindex.exe
i've got

"%bm% as options argument
Probably this is the way to correct my story? What should I specify as the path and the options....?

Hi!

I have:

and

"%bm"

Here the " are part of the parameters. Remark: only % before bm, not after.

If this is not solving your problem, could you post your .idx file (and
your source file!! later)?

Hi Yarski,

I've got the same path/options settings - so everything should work...
(actually, different options are only used if you want use a special style file for the index)

Please try out the example - if there is no index generated on page 3, there's some
basic problem with Your MikTeX 2.7-system (and You probably need a fresh installation).

Hi Yarsky,

that was hard work ;-) ... but You win!

About Your question:

The document-class You use (kapmono) is a specialized
class for scientific publication - everything is adjusted to
the "layout" of the publisher (Kluwer). The vertical space
between "INDEX" and the first entries is programmed into
the class-file - there is no easy way to change this!

Please have in mind, LaTeX is not a WYSIWYG word-processor
it's a logical text programming tool...

If you want to adjust Your document after Your needs (and
don't have to sent it to a publisher who wants to have a special
layout like kapmono) I recommend You to use other classes - e.g.
the KOMASCRIPT-class

ftp://ftp.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/scrguien.pdf

It's adjustable in lots of ways...

Greetings
Kris

Betreff: Re: [TXC-Users] \makeindex problem
Hi guys
what would you recommend to put in the profile when

configuring the

path to makindex.exe
i've got
"C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\miktex\bin\makeindex.exe"
"%bm% as options argument
Probably this is the way to correct my story? What should I

specify

as the path and the options....?
Thanks
y.
