It is completely compatible to the current \Lprog{makeindex} program, but can handle \Index{UTF-8}, 16, 32, and 64. The \LaTeX\ package \Lpack{xindex} is a package which provides a \LaTeX\ command which writes additional text into the index file. This text (comments and/or macros) will be accepted by the program \XI. The general structure of a \Index{data element} in the Lua table is: \begin{verbatim} data = { Entry = , -- like the input line without command \indexentry pages = { { number = , special = }, -- the part after | in the input [...] { number = , special = } }, sortChar = , -- of the first character of Entry Macro = -- only useful with LaTeX package xindex } \end{verbatim} After reading the input file the Lua table \texttt{pages} has only one element for the number\index{page number} and the so-called special command. When the pages are compressed the table will collect all pages which refer to the same \Index{entry name}. \iffalse EntryList[2] = { Entry = "Johann", -- the index item foo@bar pages = { -- the page number(s) and the part after | { number = 111, special = '\\emph' }, { number = 11, special = "\\textit"} }, sortChar= 80, -- Initial for later output Macro = "" } \fi \subsection{Syntax} The \Index{syntax} is \verb|xindex [...] | where \verb|[...]| are optional \Index{argument}s, either in short or long form which, of course, can be mixed: \begin{verbatim} xindex [-q,--quiet ] [-h,--help ] [-v ] verbose [-V,--version ] [-a,--no_casesensitive ] default is false [-b,--no_labels ] default is false [-c,--config ] default is cfg [-e,--escapechar ] default is " [-f,--fix_hyperref ] default is false [-g,--no_pagenumber] default is false [-i,--ignoreSpace ] default is false [-k,--checklang ] default ist false [-l,--language ] default is en [-n,--noheadings ] default is false [-o,--output ] default is .ind [-p,--prefix] default L [-s,--use_stdin ] default is false [-u,--use_UCA ] default is false (default stdin) file(s)[.idx] one or more files \end{verbatim} For example: \begin{noteblock} \ttfamily xindex -q -l fr -b myDoc \newline xindex -l de -c DIN2 demo1 demo2 demo3\newline xindex -c norsk -o index.ind demo1 demo2.bdx demo3.adx \end{noteblock} \begin{enumerate} \item \texttt{-q}: quiet; \texttt{-l fr}: french language setting; \texttt{-b}: no labels; \texttt{myDoc}: input data \texttt{myDoc} or \texttt{myDoc.idx)\newline output data will be \texttt{myDoc.ind} and logfile \texttt{myDoc.ilg} \item \texttt{-l de}: German language setting; \texttt{-c DIN2}: config file \texttt{xindex-DIN2.lua}; \texttt{demo1 demo2 demo3}: input data files with or without extension \texttt{.idx} \newline output data will be \texttt{demo1.ind} and logfile \texttt{xindex.ilg}} \item \texttt{-c norsk}: config file \texttt{xindex-norsk.lua}; \texttt{-o index.ind}: output file; \texttt{demo1 demo2.bdx demo3.adx}: input data files with or without extension \texttt{.idx} \newline output data will be \texttt{xindex.ind} and logfile \texttt{xindex.ilg} \end{enumerate} It is also possible to use standard input for the index data, which needs the \verb|-s| parameter: \begin{noteblock}\ttfamily cat myDoc.idx | xindex -q -l fr -b -s xindex -l de -c DIN2 < myDoc.idx \end{noteblock} \begin{importantblock} The \Index{language} has to be chosen as an international abbreviation in lower- or uppercase letters, see \url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2} \end{importantblock} \subsection{How it works} \XI creates by default an \Index{output} file \texttt{.ind} which can be read by the \LaTeX\ document with the default command \Lcs{printindex}. One can use another output filename, which makes only sense if one doesn't use the \Lcs{printindex} command for typesetting the index. The default \Index{sorting} is given by the configuration file, which defines replacements for \Index{accented characters}, like \texttt{ö}$\rightarrow$\texttt{o}. \subsection{The \texttt{.idx} file} There are three (four) characters which must be escaped if used in the command \Lcs{index}: \verb=!=, \verb=@=, or \verb=|= and the current escape character itself. These characters have a special meaning for the index.\index{"!}\index{"@}\index{"|} \begin{importantblock} The default \Index{escape character} is the double quote \verb|"|. The braces \texttt{\{} and \texttt{\}} cannot be used as argument for the command \Lcs{index}. Use \Lcs{braceLeft} and \Lcs{braceRight} instead (defined in the package \Lpack{xindex}). \end{importantblock} \iffalse To put a !\index{"!}, @\index{"@}, or |\index{"|} character in an index entry, quote it by preceding the character with a quote ". More precisely, any character is said to be quoted if it follows an unquoted " that is not part of a \" command. A quoted !, @, or | character is treated like an ordinary character rather than having its usual meaning. The " preceding a quoted character is deleted before the entries are alphabetized. \fi \setkeys{hv}{moveToExampleDir=true,ExampleDir=Examples,cleanup={},verbose,force=false,shellesc} \begin{externalDocument}[ % grfOptions={width=\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxsep-2\fboxrule}, pages={1,2}, frame, compiler=lualatex, crop, xindex, xindexOptions=-u, % use unicode runs=2,code,docType=latex, showFilename, align=\centering, lstOptions={columns=fixed}]{xindex} %! lualatex %! xindex -u (use unicode) \documentclass{scrartcl} \makeatletter \def\theindex{% only for demonstration \section*{\indexname} \parskip\z@ \@plus .3\p@\relax \parindent\z@ \let\item\@idxitem} \makeatother %StartVisiblePreamble \usepackage{makeidx}\makeindex \usepackage{xindex}% for \barceLeft|Right %StopVisiblePreamble \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} \section{Escaping characters} \begin{itemize} \item Exclamation mark ! \index{Exclamation ("!)}\index{"!} \item Vertical bar | \index{Vertical bar ("|)}\index{"|} \item Doublequote \verb|"| \index{""} \item Double doublequote \verb|""| \index{""""} \item At character @ \index{At ("@)}\index{"@} \item Left paranthesis \{ \index{\braceLeft} \item Right paranthesis \} \index{\braceRight} \end{itemize} run \texttt{xindex -u }\index{file.idx@\texttt{}|textit}\index{123} \index{Etage} \index{Ètagé} \newpage \printindex \end{document} \end{externalDocument} It is by design that the braces \{ and \} cannot be used as index entry. The \emph{package} xindex defines the two commands \Lcs{braceLeft} and \Lcs{braceRight} which can be used instead (see examples above and and below). The same example without using unicode sorting (no option \Loption{-u}): \begin{externalDocument}[ % grfOptions={width=\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxsep-2\fboxrule}, pages={1,2}, frame, compiler=lualatex, crop, xindex, % xindexOptions=-u, % use unicode runs=2,code,docType=latex, showFilename, align=\centering, lstOptions={columns=fixed}]{xindex} %! lualatex %! xindex (no unicode sort -- simple ascii) \documentclass{scrartcl} \makeatletter \def\theindex{% only for demonstration \section*{\indexname} \parskip\z@ \@plus .3\p@\relax \parindent\z@ \let\item\@idxitem} \makeatother %StartVisiblePreamble \usepackage{makeidx}\makeindex \usepackage{xindex}% for \braceLeft|\braceRight %StopVisiblePreamble \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} \section{Escaping characters} \begin{itemize} \item Exclamation mark ! \index{Exclamation ("!)}\index{"!} \item Vertical bar | \index{Vertical bar ("|)}\index{"|} \item Doublequote \verb|"| \index{""} \item Double doublequote \verb|""| \index{""""} \item At character @ \index{At ("@)}\index{"@} \item Left paranthesis \{ \index{\braceLeft} \item Right paranthesis \} \index{\braceRight} \end{itemize} run \texttt{xindex -u }\index{file.idx@\texttt{}|textit}\index{123} \index{Etage} \index{Ètagé} \newpage \printindex \end{document} \end{externalDocument} For the German language the double quote is an active character and it makes life easier if one chooses another character. The escape character can be changed easily by the optional argument \verb|-e ""| or \verb|--escapechar "|. The following example shows how it works for the \Index{escape character} »>« (greater). By default the expression »\verb|>>|«\index{>\kern0pt>} will be a \TeX\ ligature with the output »>>«. %Internally the escape sequences are With the beginning of \Lprog{xindex}the escaped chars are converted into the internal strings and later back to the original meaning. The two characters \verb|{}| cannot be used as \verb|\{\}| inside the argument of \Lcs{index}. The package \Lpack{xindex} defines the two helper macros \begin{verbatim} \providecommand\braceLeft{\{} \providecommand\braceRight{\}} \end{verbatim} The following example shows how to use it: \begin{externalDocument}[ % grfOptions={width=\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxsep-2\fboxrule}, pages={1,2}, frame, compiler=lualatex, crop, force=false, xindex, xindexOptions=-e ">", runs=2,code,docType=latex, showFilename, align=\centering, lstOptions={columns=fixed}]{xindex} %! lualatex \documentclass{scrartcl} \makeatletter \def\theindex{% only for demonstration \section*{\indexname} \parskip\z@ \@plus .3\p@\relax \parindent\z@ \let\item\@idxitem} \makeatother %StartVisiblePreamble \usepackage{xindex} \usepackage{makeidx}\makeindex %StopVisiblePreamble \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} \section{Escaping characters with >} \begin{itemize} \item Exclamation mark ! \index{exclaim (>!)} \item Vertical bar| \index{Vertical bar (>|)} \item Escapechar \verb|>| \index{>>} \item Double escapechar \verb|>>| \index{>>>>} \item At character @ \index{At (>@)} \item Group start \{ \index{\braceLeft} \item Group end \{ \index{\braceRight} \end{itemize} Run \texttt{xindex} with \texttt{xindex -e ">"}\index{}\index{123} \newpage \printindex \end{document} \end{externalDocument} \section{Language}\label{language} The \Index{language} is only important for the first two headers in the output of the index data. They are by default \emph{Symbols} followed by \emph{Numbers}. In a new version of \Lprog{xindex} it will be customizable. The predefined language is »en« and currently the following languages which its alias are defined: \begin{Verbatim}[commandchars=\\<>] = {, , , ...} indexheader = { cs = {"Symboly", "Čísla", "czech"}, da = {"Symboler", "Tal", "danish"}, de = {"Symbole", "Zahlen", "austrian", "german", "germanb", "ngerman", "naustrian"}, en = {"Symbols", "Numbers", "english", "USenglish", "american", "UKenglish", "british", "canadian", "australian", "newzealand"}, es = {"Símbolos", "Números", "spanish"}, fr = {"Symboles","Nombres", "french", "francais", "canadien", "acadian"}, it = {"Simboli", "Numeri", "italian"}, \Japanese jp = {"シンボル","番号","japanese"}, \DejaVuMono nl = {"Symbolen", "Nummers", "dutch"}, no = {"Symboler","Tall", "norsk", "nynorsk"}, ru = {"Символы", "Числа", "russian"}, } \end{Verbatim} The following example was run with \verb|xindex -l it .idx|: \begin{externalDocument}[ % grfOptions={width=\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxsep-2\fboxrule}, pages={1,2}, frame, compiler=lualatex, crop, force=false, xindex, xindexOptions=-l it -e ">", runs=2,code,docType=latex, showFilename, align=\centering, lstOptions={columns=fixed}]{xindex} %! lualatex \documentclass{scrartcl} \usepackage[italian]{babel} \makeatletter \def\theindex{% only for demonstration \section*{\indexname} \parskip\z@ \@plus .3\p@\relax \parindent\z@ \let\item\@idxitem} \makeatother %StartVisiblePreamble \usepackage{makeidx}\makeindex %StopVisiblePreamble \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} \section{Escaping simboli con >} \begin{itemize} \item punto esclamativo ! \index{exclaim (>!)} \item linea verticale | \index{Vertical bar (>|)} \item escapechar \verb|>| \index{>>} \item doppio escapechar \verb|>>| \index{>>>>} \item At siboli @ \index{At (>@)} \end{itemize} Initio \texttt{xindex} con \texttt{xindex -l it -e ">"}\index{123} \newpage \printindex \end{document} \end{externalDocument} The following example was run with \verb|xindex -k .idx|.

A new config file must declare at least the variables which are part of the default config file: the translation tables and \begin{verbatim} itemPageDelimiter = "," -- Hello, 14 compressPages = true -- something like 12--15, instead of 12,13,14,15. the |( ... |) syntax is still valid fCompress = true -- 3f -> page 3, 4 and 3ff -> page 3, 4, 5 minCompress = 3 -- 14--17 rangeSymbol = "--" numericPage = true -- for non numerical pagenumbers, like "VI-17" sublabels = {"", "-\\-", "--\\-", "---\\-"} -- for the sub(sub(sub-items, first one is empty pageNoPrefixDel = "" -- a delimiter for page numbers like "VI-17" -- not used !!! indexOpening = "" -- commands/text after \begin{theindex} \end{verbatim} The new config file can define own functions for compressing the pagelist for a given entry and for the formatting of the output. They must be called \verb|specialCompressPageList| and \verb|specialGetPageList|. %needs %the unmodified list of pages for one entry. For example: \begin{verbatim} function specialCompressPageList(pages) if (pages[1]["number"] == "") then pages[1]["number"] = " " end if (#pages <= 1) then pages[1]["number"] = pages[1]["number"]:gsub('-',':~')-- replace "-" with ":~" return pages end -- only one pageno local sortPages = {} local roman local volume local page local i for i=1,#pages do roman = string.gsub(pages[i]["number"],'%U*','') -- only uppercase to catch VII/1-123f and VII/3-123ff (folium pages) if romanToNumber(roman) then roman = string.format("%05d",tonumber(romanToNumber(roman))) -- only roman part VII else roman = "" end volume = string.gsub(pages[i]["number"],'%a*','') -- only the number /2 123 or /2-123 if volume then volume = volume:gsub('-%d*','') end -- delete - char to get /2 page = string.gsub(pages[i]["number"],'.*-','') page = string.format("%5s",page) sortPages[#sortPages+1] = { origin = pages[i], sort = roman..volume.."

With the \LaTeX\ package \Lpack{xindex} (same name as the Lua program \Lprog{xindex}) defines a macro \Lcs{writeidx} which writes its argument into the \Lext{idx} file. This can be useful to insert a \Index{pagebreak}\slash\Index{columnbreak} before a new letter in the output of the index file: \begin{verbatim} \documentclass{article} \usepackage{makeidx} \makeindex \usepackage{xindex} \begin{document} \index{foo}foo and \writeidx{\clearpage} \index{bar}bar \printindex \end{document} \end{verbatim} Such commands are then taken into account by the program \Lprog{xindex}. With the often used program \Lprog{makeindex} such commands are ignored.

The definition is in the file \Lfile{xindex-cfg-common.lua} (see also section \vref{language}). % It can easily be extended for other \Index{language}s. Sometimes the headers are not needed, for example in a name list. With the optional argument \verb=-n= or \verb=--noheadings= the created \Lext{ind} file has only the vertical space between different first letters: \begin{externalDocument}[ % grfOptions={width=\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxsep-2\fboxrule}, mpwidth=0.55\linewidth, pages={5}, frame=false, compiler=lualatex, crop, xindex, xindexOptions=-n, runs=2,code,docType=latex, showFilename, align=\centering, lstOptions={columns=fixed}]{xindex} %! lualatex \documentclass{scrartcl} \makeatletter \def\theindex{% only for demonstration \section*{\indexname} \parskip\z@ \@plus .3\p@\relax \parindent\z@ \let\item\@idxitem} \makeatother %StartVisiblePreamble \usepackage{makeidx}\makeindex %StopVisiblePreamble \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} Ein foo\index{foo}\index{bar|(} \newpage und \index{foo} ein foo\index{foo|textit} \newpage und foo\index{foo|textbf} \newpage und foo\index{foo|fbox} \index{bar|)} \newpage \verb|xindex -n | \printindex \end{document} \end{externalDocument} The headings are printed by default as \Lcs{textbf}.
