Abstract:
The article presents the macro package “index” for creation of indexes. An important
part of this package is the T
EX macro “sort” for alphabetical sorting. It
uses a four-pass sorting algorithme which can be accommodated to different languages
through a sorting table. Its memory requirements are independent of the
length of the list of entries to be sorted. The treatment of page numbers in index
entries is sophisticated. The macro package “index” is available including French
documentation on author’s home page
