One of us (not me) did the heavy lifting of the first draft, and the other two provided some extra eyes. I volunteered to do the index, which is now completed.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>> I sent my compiling version of the MS to the main editor, who had no problem compiling the file, but the make index program invoked from within TeXShop griped, a lot. We scratched our heads; we’re both using the latest version of TeXShop (though perhaps not the same LaTeX engine, and maybe that’s the issue). Anyway, he traced it, he thinks, to the fact that what my TeXShop recognizes as single quote or as an accent ague (with \’), is not so recognized by his setup. We have made sure that our TeXShop preferences are the same. This doesn’t arise in the main matter. But a name like “Poincar\’{e}” in the .idx file (I think) causes grief. (I should ask him to send me the .ilg file…)<br>><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>> Anyone have any idea what the problem is?
