Index Help, Please

Post by mfiligree »

Hello ~ I have made a stripped version of my index to compile, and though it is not perfect in showing every entry, at least it works. When I migrate this over to my main document, there is zero placed in the index file, whereas in my stripped file, 29 entries were entered. Here is what I have in the main document, nearly identical with the stripped version:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,oneside]{book}
\usepackage{amssymb,amsmath}
\usepackage{deluxetable}
\usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{color}
\usepackage[colorlinks=true,linkcolor=blue]{hyperref}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{graphicx} 
\usepackage[dotinlabels]{titletoc}
\usepackage[titles]{tocloft}
\usepackage{calc}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{rotating}
\setcounter{chapter}{17}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{5}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{5}
\setcounter{page}{1}
\makeindex

\begin{document}
Lots of stuff here in between
\printindex

\index{apples|see{oranges}|see{bananas}!fruit!pie!turnovers}
\index{bananas!Cheerios!muffins}
\index{canteloupe}
\index{coffee cake|see{orange marmelade}|see{quiche}!breakfast}
\end{document}
Thanks for any help,
Linda

Perhaps a good first step is to run makeindex and make sure that the index file has the appropriate entries.
