MakeIndex, Nomenclature, Glossaries and Acronyms ⇒ Options for MakeIndex

[pleasehelpme]

Hi!

I tried to use the options for makeindex -cgilqr, but I cannot get them to work.
I put them before "%bm" in the menu.... I need to know were to find the .ist-file...

Thanks!

There is a good source with comprehensive descriptions of all the options [1]. This should answer your questions. Style declarations can be found in the MiKTeX tree.

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\makeindex

You only need to call MakeIndex with the -s option followed by the name of the according style file as described in the mentioned source.

Hi Thorsten!

Thanks for your answer. I know about the options, but I don't know how to enter them in Texniccenter correctly. That's why I posted it in this category. And which .ist-file should I use? There are several in the makeindex-folder.

I use Alt+F7 to access the menu and at the bottom I can enter the options, but I am unfamiliar with the syntax.

Thanks again!

Take a look at the picture in the attachment. It should help you to get things work.

Just test them and look what fits best to your needs. If you don't find a suitable style, you can write one on your own (like I did).

That's the reason why I referred you to the web site. All is explained there in detail.

Hi Thorsten!

Thank you for the explanation. I now use -s -l umlaut.ist -g "%bm" and there are no errors. However, there is a problem with the order in the printed word listing; something I'll have to post elsewhere...

You have to give the options in the right way.

Code: Select all

-l -s umlaut.ist -g "%bm"

The -s parameter has to be followed directly by the name of the index style file.
