Page Layout ⇒ multind | Entries not added to the Index

[mhayes]

I'm trying to make an index using the multind package. While the indexes both print at the end of the document when I use \printindex, it only prints the titles of the indexes and lacks any entries. Typesetting the sample code produces the same issues as my larger document, so for brevity I'll use that instead:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{multind}

\makeindex{pro}
\makeindex{con}

\begin{document}
test text\index{pro}{test}
test text\index{con}{test}

\printindex{pro}{PROF}
\printindex{con}{CON}

\end{document}

Is there any reason why the entries aren't being added? I'm using TeX Live 2011 and updated the packages yesterday, so it shouldn't be an issue of multind being out of date. You guys have been very helpful in the past, so thanks in advance!

Edit: I redid the code using the imakeidx package, and while it didn't work in TeXPad at first, after switching to TeXShop, it rendered correctly. These are both OS X applications. I prefer TeXPad, so would there be a way to solve that particular issue?

As explained in the CTAN entry of multind, you have to run MakeIndex on every single *.idx file that is produced. In your case you have two of them.

Code: Select all

makeindex pro.idx
makeindex con.idx

Since this package seems to be a relic from the days of old LaTeX2.09, you should think about using a modern package like imakeidx or splitindex instead.

By the way, very good example that allows to test solutions instantly.

I've got a similar problem with this code:

Code: Select all

% !TEX TS-program = xeLaTeX
% !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
% !TEX spellcheck = en_GB

\documentclass[11pt]{book}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\defaultfontfeatures{Ligatures=TeX}
\setmainfont{Brill}
\newfontfamily\lettrinefont{Brill}
\usepackage{multind} 

\makeindex{nominum}
\makeindex{rerum}
\usepackage[polutonikogreek,english]{babel}
\newcommand*{\tg}[1]{\textgreek{#1}}
\usepackage{ledmac}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{hanging}
\pagestyle{myheadings}
\textheight = 180.5 mm
\textwidth = 108.5 mm
\pagenumbering{arabic}

\newcommand{\rhet}[2]{\edtext{#1}{\Afootnote{#2}}}
\newcommand{\oed}[2]{\edtext{#1}{\Bfootnote{#2}}}
\footparagraph{A}
\footparagraph{B}
\raggedbottom

\newcommand*{\LeftWidth}{3.0cm}%
\newcommand*{\RightWidth}{\dimexpr\linewidth-\LeftWidth-2em\relax}%
\newcommand{\AlignedBrace}[2]{%
    \medskip\par\noindent%
    \makebox[\LeftWidth][r]{\text{#1}~}%
    $\left\{~\parbox{\RightWidth}{\strut\textit{#2}\strut}\right.$%
}%

\begin{document}
\pend
\endnumbering
\printindex{nominum}{Index nominum}
\printindex{rerum}{Index rerum}
\end{document}

I'm working with Windows, Tex Live 2011 and TeXworks. I run MakeIndex on my .idx files, but nothing happens, what's the problem?

Create index entries to get an index. But here also applies what I said in my former post.

Posted also to {TeX} SX. Such posts have to mentioned.
