Dear (La)TeX friends.

If I want every index entry in the .ind file to look like

Code: Select all

\item <text> \hfil\dotfill <another text> \dotfill \hyperpage{<number>}

what do I have to write in my .ist file?

Update: Every <text> should be flushed left and every <another text> should be aligned at the center of the line. (I hope it makes sense.)

Here is my .ist file (it is a "rip-off" of the examples on pages 662 and 664 in "The LaTeX Companion" 2nd Edition):

Code: Select all

% My index style file.
heading_prefix "{\\bfseries\\hfil " % Insert in front of letter.
heading_suffix "}\\nopagebreak\n"   % Append after letter.
headings_flag       1               % Turn on headings (uppercase).
delim_0        "\\dotfill "         % \item level entry dots filling.

I thought of something like

Code: Select all

delim_0        "\\hfil\\dotfill #1 \\dotfill "

but it failed, of course. (I am almost totally new to creating indices.)


Thanks in advance!
