MakeIndex, Nomenclature, Glossaries and Acronyms ⇒ Sectionnames in index

[Boersma]

Hi all,

I'm busy with a songbook, containing approx 150 songs (each in a section) and I want to put them all in alphabetical order in the index.

One option is to put after each section an \index-command with a unique entry, see code.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\makeindex

\begin{document}
\section*{First song} \index{First song}
la la la la

\section*{Second song} \index{Second song}
la li la lo

\printindex
\end{document}

But is there a faster way? (something like \index{\thissectionname}) Or an option at makeindex?

Thanks in advance
Boersma

I think the easiest way would be to create a new command that does the section and indexing. For example:

Code: Select all

\newcommand*{\song}[1]{\section*{#1}\index{#1}}

Then just do

Code: Select all

\song{First Song}

etc
