I am starting a book which I want to have separate author and subject indices. While I've made indices by hand in the past, I am considering shifting to biblatex in part because it says it automates putting citations and bibliographic entries into "the index". I can't find any indication whether this supports multiple indices. (The publisher wants me to use the package multind for the multiple indices). I only want to put authors names in the author index automagically.
I can't even find the name of the .idx file that biblatex tells me I have to run makeindex on. Any guidance, especially sample code, would be greatly appreciated.
idxfile? – Johannes_B Apr 11 '19 at 05:23biblatexdoes not produce an index for you. You still need an index package and all its index setup and printing commands.biblatexonly issues\index. It would be possibly to directbiblatexto use multiple indices, but how that would work depends on what exactly you have in mind. Can you share your index setup so far and what exactly you have in mind in an example document, please? – moewe Apr 11 '19 at 05:33biblatexandmultind– moewe Apr 11 '19 at 05:37…/doc/latex/biblatex/examples/22-indexing-subentry.texusingimakeidxis part of thebiblatexdocu. You can search for it with the file search feature of your OS. Usingimakeidxis, i.e, for beginners often easier than usingmultind, because it does all themakeindexruns on its own. – Schweinebacke Apr 11 '19 at 05:50Second, this is NOT compatible with the multindex package that my publisher wants me to use but does work with the index package. If any reader has question, contact me at bsimon@caltech.edu.
Thanks for your help.
First, the index that biblatex puts the index items in is just.ind if the source is .tex.
