Desired index result

I want an index using makeindex to have entries like the following (where I've used ~~~ and ~~~~~~ to indicate indenting for subentries and sub subentries):

nothing, 1
~~~ nil, 1
~~~~~~ and zero, 1
~~~~~~ ( see also null elements}
~~~ null, 1
~~~ See also zero ...

How could one define \vhrulefil using just actual LaTeX commands and not any lower-level TeX commands?l

Please explain the names indicated for renaming Adobe's distributed files:

ptmrc8a (initially tirsc___) and

pfmb8a (initially tibsc___)

OK, the foundry (source) name is "p" for Adobe.

For the Times-RomanSC (tirsc___), the next two letters "t m" indicate Times; OK, too. Is the next letter, the ...

Having the downloaded .afm files in hand, too, I finally went through the entire process described in font installationguide.pdf. (That includes running the appropriate updmap commands with TeXLive 2014).

Unfortunately, I cannot get the Adobe Times Roman SmallCaps font to work in LaTeX. For example ...

Apparently the problem was that I didn't have the needed .afm text-version metric fonts, just the binary .pfm versions. But I found the .afm files on-line, and now the processing of the driver file does produce *.pl and *.vpl output files.

I just hope the .afm files I located are the correct text ...

I renamed tirsc___.pfb and tirsc___.pfm to ptmrc8a.pfb and ptmrc8a.pfm; and renamed tibsc___.pfb and tibsc___.pfm to pfmb8a.pfb and pfmb8a.pfm.

The next step, according to fontinstallationguide.pdf, would see to be to tex driver files such as:

\input fontinst.sty
\needsfontinstversion{1.926 ...

I have just seen your query today while investigating MakeIndex myself.
Is not your error to use \seeonly rather than |seeonly inside the \index parameter?
The following works well for me.

\documentclass{article}

\newcommand{\seeonly}[2]{(\emph{see} #1)}
\usepackage{makeidx}\makeindex ...

Hi murraye,

nice to see that you found it out, thanks for posting the solution. Btw. we had the same already here: Appendix not appearing in the table of contents .

Stefan
That post on this forum did not appear to be quite the same issue: it dealt with the title of a particular appendix not ...

A resolution of this issue appears at http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/74039/.

Briefly: there's a documented conflict betwen \include and \addcontentsline .

Possible workarounds are:

(1) use \input instead of \include (which is what I was trying to avoid);

(2) keep \include but move the ...

I think I finally figured out, but would welcome suggestions for improvement or additional test cases. I changed the \gobbletwo command to a command \gobbleone that eats only the first argument but spits out the second.

This is essentially the same as my suggestion. I'd favor mine as it doesn't ...
