[mnajem]

Hello,

How to print the the index into big capital letter for the category?

For example;

A
ample
axe

B
block
buy

and so on?

Currently using default makeindex it'll classify, but no eye-friendly

You need to create an .ist file that sets the group headings. For example, create a file called, say, test.ist that contains:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

headings_flag 1
heading_prefix "\\textbf\{"
heading_suffix "\}"

Then when you run makeindex, you need to use the -s option to specify this style file (assuming your document is called test.tex):

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

makeindex -s test.ist test.idx

thanks a lot, it works.
I tried to tweak (putting huge, so the capital letter will be bold, and slightly bigger than the rests).

something like

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

headings_flag 1
heading_prefix "\\textbf\\huge\{"
heading_suffix "\}\}"

Where should I put the huge actually?

Thanks!

After the opening brace:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

heading_prefix "\\textbf\{\\huge "

(Make sure you put a space after the command name.)
