I have completed my project to demonstrate the use of Xindy in conjunction with Context. The results are available in the following (identical) collections of files: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/culleton.zip http://wexfordpress.com/tex/culleton.tar.gz I look forward to a more elegant implementation by a more elegant programmer. But mine works for now. :-) Anyone who needs to index a non-English document in Context (or pdfetex or whatever) need only create an alphabet file and proceed onward. -- John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters Rowse Reviews Culleton Editorial Services http://wexfordpress.com
Just out of curiosity, does Xindy support XML, such that one could, say, use DocBook (with ConTeXt)? Bruce

Not as such. but the indexing commands could I suppose be interspersed with the XML code. My interface uses traditional TeX type macros to produce a beginning index file, an available translation program to convert that file into Xindy-speak, and then the Xindy program to further summarize and sort the index entries. The original creation macros could be rewritten to resemble XMl I suppose and of course the output can be reformatted in that fashion also. But no one is working on that to my knowledge. -- John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters Rowse Reviews Culleton Editorial Services http://wexfordpress.com
