Support for indexes #131

Closed jakobjanot closed 9 years ago

jakobjanot commented 9 years ago

Is it or could it be possible to mark keywords in the text, which will be referred to in an index. Such a feature would be nice for creating books.

fletcher commented 9 years ago

There is not currently a way to manage LaTeX indexes with MMD syntax. I have thought about such an idea for many years, but haven't found a solution that I like short of manually tagging each word -- which is not a particularly useful solution, and would only work in LaTeX, since the other output formats don't support the concept of an index. In that case you're just as well off using the actual LaTeX \index{} commands.

Thanks for the answer. I am using it for books which are published to print through XSL-FO, thus any way of manually tagging words would suffice. I am a bit unsure, if the "glossary" method would work? Best wishes. Jakob

I don't use XSL-FO, so can't really help you work out a way to "hack" it.
