MakeIndex, Nomenclature, Glossaries and Acronyms ⇒ Layout of the index

[julien.vandamme]

hy everybody

first of all, let me excuse myself for the coming errors in english.

i'm making a book and already added the makeidx package and the \makeindex command to my preamble. All the things i wanted to be in the index are already labelled too with the \index{} command.

now at the end, just before the \end{document} command, i added, \printindex

now i searched for info on the net, but i don't find what i need.

i liked too have an index like this one

aaaaagddsdf.........67
aaabbbbcccc.........45
aarefrerf...........55

baaagdgegefg........60
bbbbbbcccccdd.......64

cdggrgrgrg..........54

so, for every new letter i want a new 'paragraph'
and i liked to have dots between the label and the page.

ik hope somebody can help me, because, i really don't find the solution on the net

sincerely yours
Julien Vandamme

Perhaps the fairly new idxlayout package can help. Otherwise you will have to write your own index style file (*.ist). See the MakeIndex manual.


Best regards and welcome to the board

thank you

and what is that xindy related package?

writing my own fyle style doesn't look easy :s

Xindy represents a replace for MakeIndex and is more powerful and more flexible. But it is more complicated to customize. The forum search yields some useful stuff.
