Producing Index
I have been trying to produce an index with a lot of difficulty.
I have followed the guides provided...especially
To produce the index you need:
usepackage{makeidx}andmakeindexin the preamble
aprintindexwhere you want the index to appear, and,
you need to runmakeindexon the.idxfile that LaTeX produces.
My current confusion is the last line above. I can see the .idx file output after
usepackage{makeidx} and makeindex in the preamble
a printindex
but I do not understand how to run the makeindex on it...in simple terms.
One suggestion says, run pdflatex, then run MakeIndex and the run pdflatex again.
This hasn't worked for me.
Kindly guide is simple steps.
Thanks

How to 'rumakeindex' might depend on the editor you use. Some of them come with a accordingly named button that you can press to run the program. Independant from the editor, you should be able to usemakeindex filename.idx(wifht 'filename' being the name of your corresponding.texfile) in your command line

There is now an alternative packagaimakeidxthat under many circumstances will process and include the index in the first pass. This does partly depend on the LaTeX system you use.
