Index compilation

Post by gwada74 »

Hello,

I am facing a weird problem, I wanted to get index with each prefix letter group having the Letter in Bold Cap. I solved my problem, but now the index is link to the last chapter of my book and is in one column instead of two before.

The difference between before and now is the compilation of an .ist file by using :
makeindex -s myfile.ist mybook.idx

I have then a question about how to deal with the compilation of my .ist file it is still fuzzy for me.

To summarise I want an index at the end of my book, in two columns and with the letter in bold cap and centered at the beginning of each letter group.

Thanks in advance

A minimal working example would really help here.

Also, could you at least post the .ist file?

Perhaps the information in this thread could be of some use to you.
