But here’s what I wrote George and Herb off-list:<div><br></div><div><div>As Herb knows, I’m working on a big book (900 pp). The publisher wanted separate indices for terms and for authors Here’s the relevant part of my preamble:</div><div><br></div><div><div><i>\documentclass[10 pt]{memoir}</i></div><div><i>\usepackage[splitindex]{imakeidx}</i></div><div><i>\makeindex[name=s,title=Subject Index]</i></div><div><i>\makeindex[name=a,title=Author Index]</i></div></div><div><br></div><div>And then in the body of the text,</div><div> …</div><div><div> </div><div><i>See M.\,E.\,Rose, \emph{Relativistic Electron Theory},<b>\index[a]{Rose, Morris E.}</b> Wiley, 1961, pp.\,193-196. Rose explicitly shows the suppression of positron density near the hydrogen nucleus as $| \mathbf{p}| \to 0$, and ascribes this suppression to Coulomb repulsion acting on positrons. Dirac's success was a good thing because it told people that the basic ideas were right, but it was a bad thing because it led people to spend a lot of time worrying about one particle, two particle, and three particle theories, because they didn't realize the hydrogen atom was a very special system. We will see that you cannot have a consistent relativistic picture without pair production.<b>\index[s]{pair production}</b></i></div><div><br></div></div><div>So after typesetting twice, I run, from TeXShop’s Typeset menu, MakeIndex. I then typeset a third time, and that takes care of that. I attach the indices. (I haven’t indexed more than the first four chapters or so.)</div><div><br></div><div>At the end of the main file, </div><div><br></div><div><div><i>\footnotesize</i></div><div><i>\printindex[a]</i></div><div><i>\printindex[s]</i></div><div><i>\end{document}</i></div></div><div><i><br></i></div><div>I attach the two pages of indices (though if the moderator would prefer them not to be included, that’s fine.)</div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps George, whose beautiful books on LaTeX made it possible for me to get started with this wonderful software.</div><div><br></div><div>David Derbes</div><div>U of Chicago Laboratory Schools</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div></div></div></body></html>
