Tricky ignore-special

Hi everybody !

I am building a new language rule set in order to create a dictionnary in this language.

Let's say that we have the following entries:

"ko" a simple root ;

"ko=" a proclitic ;

"=ko" an enclitic ;

"ko-" a prefix and

"-ko" a suffix.

The equal and minus signs are linguistic metadata explaining what kind of "word" it is. They are not actual letters.

I want those entries to be sorted in the following order:

"ko" ; "ko=" ; "=ko" ; "ko-" and "-ko"

How do I set the "ignore special" part in the perl script to make the equal (=) and the minus (-) signs to be ignored, but to make the word they follow (or are followed by) be placed in the correct order ?

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help !

Best,

Pierric Sans

Spurious \hyperpage

I have the following minimal example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\makeindex
\begin{document}
\renewcommand\thepage{I\arabic{page}}
abc\index{abc}
\end{document}

And I have a test.xdy width this definition:

(define-location-class "Ausgabe" 
  ("roman-numerals-uppercase"  
   "arabic-numbers")
   :hierdepth 2) 

When I call

   xindy -M texindy -M test -L german-duden -C utf8 test.idx

I end with an unwanted \hyperpage command in the .ind:

  \item abc, \hyperpage{I1}

(My actual example is more complicated and there I even get nested
\hyperpage commands).

Where does it come from? 

It disappears if I remove the ":hierdepth 2". 

It also disappears if I add
(markup-locref :open "\hyperpage{" :close "}{}" :attr "hyperpage")

But both "solutions" are not really an option.

Attributes and cross-references

The xindy faq (http://xindy.sourceforge.net/doc/faq-1.html) claims
regarding attributes and cross-references

"Here we distinguish cleanly between attributes and cross
references."

But actually with LaTeX both uses the same syntax in index commands:

\index{attribute|textbf}
\index{markup|see{attribute}}

So what can I do, if I want both?

\index{textbf|textbf see{attribute}} doesn't work.

Xindy on Mac OS 10.8

Hi Simon,

Thank you very much for responding to my message regarding running
xindy on Mac OS X 10.8 - the fact that you have xindy running on 10.8
is good to hear 

Would you mind tarring up your xindy installation and sending it over to me?
(In particular, I would like to have access to the binaries -
tex2xindy, xindy.run, xindy.mem etc.)

For some reason, I didn't receive your reply directly - moreover, I
saw your message in the digest email. If you could send me a tarball
direct to james <at> james-pascoe.com, that would be much appreciated.

Thank you again and have a good day,

James

Building xindy.run and xindy.mem on MAC OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion)

Hi Everybody,

I recently upgraded my Mac Book Pro from OS X 10.7 (Lion) to OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion). I am using xindy 2.2
and noticed that when I run xindy, I now receive the following message:

/opt/xindy-2.2/bin/../lib/xindy.run: /opt/xindy-2.2/bin/../lib/xindy.run: cannot execute
binary file

Would anybody be able to guide me through the process of building xindy.run / xindy.mem from source? I have rebuilt
tex2xindy from the 3.0 sources, but I am not sure how to go about rebuilding xindy.run and xindy.mem. Which package
should I download?

Many thanks for any help you can provide,

James

Support for a new language

Hi everybody,

I am a newbie in Xindy. I am typesetting my PhD thesis in XeLaTeX under Windows (no possibility to access a Linux computer in my lab), and using the "glossaries" package. I am trying to make an index on an indigenous language of Bolivia, for which no support is done, in Xindy.

I have tried to open the "lang" files in my Texlive distribution, trying to "copy" them for my new language. For instance the "traditional-utf8-lang.xdy" file contains MANY weird symbols (I cannot find a way to see it correctly). Same for the "latin1" file.

Could someone help me in creating a new language support ? The language is (I think) quite simple: it has only "classic" roman letters, with custum letter groups ("xh", "ty", etc.), and a "special" vowel: the i-bar (U+0268).

Oh, and by the way, the language name is Chiquitano. It is spoken by 5000 indigenous people in Bolivia.

Thank you very much in advance,

Pierric Sans

FW: (te)xindy index references to footnotes

hi,

(apologies for sending this to the wrong address the first time around!)

i hope there is an obvious answer to this question, but can xindy be made to give references in the form <page>n<footnote number>? with makeindex, this can be done with something like the following (which seems like a dirty trick):

\newcommand{\nn}{#2n#1}
\newcommand{\fntobeindexed}[1]{#1\index{#1|nn{\thefootnote}}}

but (i think, vaguely) xindy does something different than makeindex and its encapsulating mechanism. at any rate, it seems to think i want a cross-reference macro because i get a warning in the form of:

WARNING: unknown cross-reference-class `nn'! (ignored)

but § 4.14 of the faq is for the wrong(?) type of 'cross-references'.

any advice/thoughts would be very helpful!

cheers,
jon.

Cross references as last subitem of an entry

Is there a way of having seealso-cross references as the very last subitem at the end of an index entry?

Currently, I have

(markup-crossref-list :class "seealso" :open "~n\subitem\seealso{" :sep "; " :close "}{}")
(define-location-class-order ("roman-page-numbers"
			      "arabic-page-numbers"
			      "see"
			      "seealso"))

But that puts the cross reference at the top of all possible subitems.

Thanks,
Till

ERROR: SLOT-VALUE: The class #<STANDARD-CLASS LOCREF:CROSSREF-LOCATION-REFERENCE> has no slot named BASE:ORDNUMS

CAVEAT: I haven't been able to construct a MWE of my problem so far (quite a complex case) but will keep
trying. In the meantime, I'll give it a shot anyway, because someone on this list might be familiar with the
error message.

Xindy (MacTeX 2011 release) dies on me like this:

Processing index... [10%] [20%]
ERROR: SLOT-VALUE: The class #<STANDARD-CLASS LOCREF:CROSSREF-LOCATION-REFERENCE> has no slot named BASE:ORDNUMS

… when processing a (Lua)TeX generated index file with the following command:

xindy -I latex -M modules filename.idx

… where modules.xdy is:

(require "latex.xdy")
(require "latex-loc-fmts.xdy")
(require "makeindex.xdy")
(require "german-sty.xdy")
(require "numeric-sort.xdy")
(require "word-order.xdy")
(require "lang/latin/caseisrt.xdy")
(define-location-class "arabic-page-numbers" ("arabic-numbers") :min-range-length 1)

The culprit here is the last line: (define-location-class "arabic-page-numbers" ...
Without it, xindy runs just fine.

Probably some of my \index{} commands (in turn containing custom commands for formatting the entries
etc.) cause the mess but so far I couldn't identify the source (might have something to do with my use of
LuaTeX, OTF fonts with fontspec, and custom tracking with microtype).

Does anyone now what the error (message) is about?

Thanks,
Till

Why I am getting "ERROR: CHAR: index 0 should be less than the length of the string"

Consider this minimal example:

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\makeindex
\def\prior{پیشینی}
\begin{document}
Testing
\index{probability!{\prior}}
\printindex
\end{document}

after producing test.idx, when I run: xindy -L english -C utf8 -M texindy test.idx

I get:

makeindex has no problem with this so is this a bug of xindy or I am doing something incorrectly? (I am using TeXLive2011)
