MakeIndex, Nomenclature, Glossaries and Acronyms ⇒ Linked Index for Presentation

[mafis103]

Hi everyone,

I am supposed to do a linked index for some lecture slides. There is no problem with the indexing itself, but with the linking - I can see the page numbers, but there are no links, although hyperref is loaded (and I think it is loaded by the beamer class anyway).

I have no clue, what I am doing wrong. Here is an example that can show my problem:

The commented line you can see is one of my tries to make it work and one of the rare things I found on the internet concerning that topic. (When activated, I put of course a |bb behind the index terms). But that try didn't even compile.

Can you tell me where the problem is and maybe what the solution is? I haven't found much about that topic in forums etc. so I am wondering if I am the only one with this problem?

Best regards and thanks in advance

However beamer disables \hyperpage so you can't use it. Here's a possible alternative that uses the datagidx package (part of the datatool bundle):

Run LaTeX here

You don't need makeindex, just two LaTeX runs. On the second run, the page numbers in the index will be hyperlinks.

Hi nicola,

thank you very much for your help. Is there any way to avoid always naming the index-terms twice?

EDIT: And another question,

I redefined the "myindex" command like this:

But now I have the problem that I want to refer to indexes, that have the same name, but a different Parent-concept. How can I differentiate them (with makeindex it was possible to do this {concept!sub} thing to differentiate, with \gls that doesn't work anymore of course)
Is it possible to make them sort automatically by alphabet?

Thanks in advance

No, I'm sorry. With datagidx you have to define the terms in the preamble.

I redefined the "myindex" command like this:

\newcommand{\myindex}[1]{\gls{#1}}

You can override the default label using the label key in the optional argument of \newterm:

Code: Select all

1
\newterm[label=foobar,parent=foo]{bar}
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Now you can reference it using

Code: Select all

1
\gls{foobar}
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

You can also override how the text appears when using \gls (as opposed to how it will appear in the index):

Code: Select all

1
\newterm[label=foobar,text={bar (foo)},parent=foo]{bar}
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

or

Code: Select all

1
\newterm[label=foobar,text={foo bar},parent=foo]{bar}
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

etc.

Is it possible to make them sort automatically by alphabet?

The entries should automatically be sorted alphabetically (according to the entry level, as with makeindex). If this isn't happening, can you provide a minimal example illustrating the problem.

Hi Nicola,

please excuse my late response and thank you very much for your helpful answers. I will try your hints as soon as possible and maybe come back again with other question

But until that: Just Thank you, I wouldn't have found out about that solution by myself.

[mafis103]

Hi there again.

Everything is working fine so far, but I have got a problem:
When I add a lot of indexes, the pages don't break and the indexes flow over the frame.... (see example).
Is there any solution for that?

- just pushing that thread up, because the last posted question still remains -

[Stefan Kottwitz]

This thread was originally about hyperlinking the index, and the original question has been solved. Probably that's why your follow-up question at the end wasn't seen by many readers. It's usually the best to open a new topic for a new problem. You can always provide a link back to a related topic.
