General ⇒ How to formatting the Index?

[neGODnick]

Hi!
I want to make the Index page like this:
А
Абракадабра, 33
Арбуз, 57
(or, the best:
А

Абракадабра, 33
Арбуз, 57
).
I have read that I must write a style-file (for example, mystyle.ist) with code like

Code: Select all

headings_flag  1
heading_prefix  "{\\normalfont\\bfseries  "
heading_suffix  "}"

and in the preambula of the main document declare \makeindex -s mystyle.ist (by the way, is it true?).

I don't want to make excess file for the sake of 3 text lines, especially I use the LyX and have single file for a document.
May I insert essential code into the preambula of the main document and how to do it? May be, it must be not code like above, but any redefinitions, etc.?
Teach me, please.

Hi!

I see that I misunderstood the manuals: "makeindex -s mystyle.ist" is no the text in the preambula, but it is the parameters of command to run makeindex.exe, which must be given via console etc. (via LyX-menu in my case). I'm beginner, sorry!

Nevertheless, I still need help. I can't get any effect following the instructions with ".ist-file" too, besides that I'd like to use any another method (see 1st post). Something I do wrong. I just posted the restrict version of my question at the LyX-board (probably it is LyX-problem).

Please, help me here or there!
