Is there a syntax for making many index entry's all in one?
I am using \index{} to populate \placeindex (an index) with items. I am wondering if there is any syntax that allows one \index{} command to define more than one entry, for example, something like this: \index{presidents+Lincoln, Abraham; Lincoln, Abraham} The result is two appearances in the index: LLincoln, Abraham Ppresidents Lincoln, Abraham Is there some syntax for making this possible, without calling \index{} multiple times? --Joel

Is there some syntax for making this possible, without calling \index{} multiple times? splitting on + is already tricky (i just send Alan a patch that deals with a mix of text and math that has + in it)
it is no big deal top write this but just using a ; would for sure issues with existing indices anyway, apart from maybe some typing it is not more efficient to combine Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
