Description : a tool to build indexes in LaTeX
LaTeX Indexbuilder is a tool for building indexes in LaTeX. It looks
inside a LaTeX document for a given list of words and add necessary
LaTeX stuff inside, in order to build a clean index. It does not
handle the output made out of \index calls by LaTeX, it just takes
care that every words in a list are correctly identified with the
command \index without you doing the boring job by hand.
To do something with the .idx file created by LaTeX, you should take
a look to mendex (for example).
It depends only on Perl.
It is already packaged for Debian, but in an ugly-just-working way,
and no documentation is cleanly provided (only the README). I would
gladly collaborate with anybody willing to maintain the package in
Debian.
