General ⇒ Hidden active commands - Help

[MarLeoSch]

Good morning. I would like to create a keyword directory. For this, I use the package "makeidx". Using the \index{} command, I can now define keywords. Is there any way I can run this command without having to display it in the text? So, I would like to put under the chapter heading similar to \label{}. \index{} and thus link to the chapter without the word in the command being printed in the text. With % I deactivate the whole command. Thanks for your help!

I don't understand the problem:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{scrbook}

\usepackage{imakeidx}
\makeindex
%\usepackage{hyperref}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{Hidden\index{entry (hidden)} Index Commands\index{command}\index{example}}
Command \verb|\index| usually does not print anything, but only adds an entry
to the index.
\printindex
\end{document}

Here you have three entries to the index and non of them is printed in the chapter heading. This works same, if you activate loading of hyperref in line 5.

So if you have a problem with \index in your own document, please show us a minimal working example (and tag it correctly as code, so it can be processed in the online editor).

Disclaimer: This is no one of my main topics. So don't expect, that I'll do further replies to this discussion.

Hi. Thanks for your answer. I think i figured it out with the \dontshow{}command.

Hi. Thanks for your answer. I think i figured it out with the \dontshow{}command.

\dontshow is neither provided by the LaTeX kernel, nor the standard classes (or the KOMA-Script classes from my example), nor any of the standard packages from tools or required. I even do not know any class or package, which provides this command. So you reply is as unclear as your question.

If you'll have further questions I'd recommend to be somehow more detailed.
