Based on this question/answer Automatically indexing references by author and year, I am trying to create an index of all my entries in the bibliography database. For that I am using biblatex to handle bibliography and imakeidx for the index, but I cannot put it to work.

The MWE is below:

\documentclass[%
    a4paper,
    english,
    11pt,
]{article}

\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@article{Padial:2010,
    title={The integrative future of taxonomy},
    author={José M.~Padial and Aurélien Miralles and Ignacio De la Riva and Miguel Vences},
    journal={Frontiers in Zoology},
    year=2010,
    month=may,
    volume=7,
    number=16,
    pages={1--14},
    doi={10.1186/1742-9994-7-16},
    issn={1742-9994},
    keywords={biology, taxonomy},
}
\end{filecontents*}

Correct the corresponding lines in your input to

\newcommand{\yearsindex}{[years]}
\newcommand{\authorsindex}{[authors]}

The syntax for \index is

\index[<name>]{<entry>}

You have braces instead of brackets.

  • The output is not very good in the printed index. But I think it is now related with the definition of style by biblatex. – cacamailg May 01 '13 at 22:20
  • @cacamailg You're using a subitem which is quite long (the whole title), so it's split across lines. You may want to use a one column index: add the columns=1 option to the \makeindex commands. – egreg May 01 '13 at 22:37
  • I notice that later. I updated the question to include that option. Thanks. – cacamailg May 01 '13 at 22:43
  • @egreg I tried this MWE with style=apa instead of style=authoryear and I get: Package imakeidx Warning: Undefined index file test' on input line 125. and LaTeX Warning: Citation 'indextitle' on page 1 undefined on input line 125 (test.tex is my file name). How could I tweak the macros to make it work with biblatex-apa? – Francesco Oct 23 '13 at 07:45
