CTAN update: splitindex
by CTAN Announcements 11 Mar '06

11 Mar '06

On Tue, 7 Mar 2006 Markus Kohm submitted an update to the splitindex package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/splitindex Summary description: Using a unlimited number of indices with almost every LaTeX-class License type: lppl Description: ------------ SplitIndex consists of a LaTeX package, splitidx, and a small program, splitindex (available in perl, TeX, Java, C, binaries for Windows-Cygwin, OpenBSD-i386, Linux-i386). The package may be used to produce one index or several indices. Without using the program the number of indices is limited by the number of TeXs output streams. But using the program you may use even more than 16 indices. At this case, splitidx outputs only a single file jobname.idx and the program splits that file into several raw index files and calls your favorite index processor for each of it. Changes at version 0.9: ----------------------- - New option `useindex' makes index and alias for sindex. - New command ` ewprotectedindex' behaves like ` ewindex' but tries to protect the argument of `index' and `sindex' using `@onelevel@sanitize'. - New option `protected' makes all `index' and `sindex' calls use `@onelevel@sanitize' to protect the argument. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
