[OS X TeX] Multiple Nomenclature sections and Memoir?

[Claus Gerhardt]

A similar question has been asked and answered two years ago, see the copy below. The Applescript referred to in the answer is now part of Flashmode-Scripts. Please google for it.

Copy:


I am using David Jones package Index for years and are very satisfied, however, I only need it to produce two indexes. For the task, Alain has in mind, the package multind seems to be more suited, at least I once tested it successfully with 11 indexes.

For each chapter or chapters a special index command has to be defined that's all. The print command can be placed anywhere.

Some years ago I wrote an Applescript to produce any number of indexes with the click of a button which is part of the Applescript library in Flashmode. Below is short description.

Claus

- Applescript
-- multiple_indexes
-- Apply only to an already saved file.
-- Claus Gerhardt, Dec. 2007

(* The underlying package is multind.sty. It redefines \makeindex, \index, and \printindex such that multiple indexes can be defined

\makeindex{indexname}--repeat for multiple indexes
\index{indexname}{entry}
\printindex{indexname}{indextitle}

For the present script the indexes are assumed to be named as filename-i.idx for 0≤i≤k, where the source is filename.tex. The index with i=0 is supposed to be a list of symbols which uses a special style file; that index need not be present.

At the moment the highest number is k=10. You can increase k in the script.

The script also requires two shell scripts which are part of Flashmode.
