MakeIndex, Nomenclature, Glossaries and Acronyms ⇒ French accents in complex indexation

[latexforever]

Hello,

As I also write french documents, I have index entries which look like this:

Code: Select all

\index{Equation@Équation!linéaire récurrente non homogène}

.

Thus, the problem is that these entries always index into the ``Symbols'' category (on the index output page in my document). How can I modify these entries so they are put in the category linked to the letter they are beginning with?

For example,

Code: Select all

\index{Equation@Équation!linéaire récurrente non homogène}

should be put in the ``E'' section, and it is now put in the ``Symbols'' section.

Help is much appreciated.

Thanks.

I cannot reproduce the problem you report. The \index command you write puts the corresponding entry in the E section. Of course, if the prefix Equation@ is removed, then it goes to the symbol section. Could you provide a minimal working example showing the problem?

It works with my MWE:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,twoside,final,makeidx,openright]{book}%report
\usepackage{makeidx}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[frenchb,english]{babel}

%% -- INDEX GENERATION ACTIVATION --

\makeindex

%% -- INDEX GENERATION ACTIVATION --
\begin{document}
\index{Equation@Équation}
\'Equation.
\printindex

\end{document}

, and I still do not understand why it does not with my other document.
