Hello,
I want to start using xindy and I am running into basic alphabet
problems. I am using xindy with xindy.sty and the example style makeidx.sty
where I added (require "tex/isolatin1m.xdy"). I have also set the variable
XINDY_SEARCHPATH to .:/usr/local/tex/texmf/xindy.
Now, with the input file
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\usepackage{xindy}
\makeindex
\begin{document}
xx
\indexindy{avion}
\indexindy{bâteau}
\indexindy{barre}
\indexindy{camelot}
\indexindy{éthiopien}
\indexindy{envie}
\indexindy{exact}
\indexindy{métrique}
\printindex
\end{document}
I get an .idx file looking like
(indexentry :tkey (("avion"))
:locref "1")
(indexentry :tkey (("b\^ateau"))
:locref "1")
(indexentry :tkey (("barre"))
:locref "1")
(indexentry :tkey (("camelot"))
:locref "1")
(indexentry :tkey (("\'ethiopien"))
:locref "1")
(indexentry :tkey (("envie"))
:locref "1")
(indexentry :tkey (("exact"))
:locref "1")
(indexentry :tkey (("m\'etrique"))
:locref "1")
which when processed with fmakeidx.xdy (makeidx.xdy + (require "tex/isolatin1m.xd
y"))
gives
\begin{theindex}
\item 'ethiopien, 1
\indexspace
\item avion, 1
\indexspace
\item b^ateau, 1
\item barre, 1
\indexspace
\item camelot, 1
\indexspace
\item envie, 1
\item exact, 1
\indexspace
\item m'etrique, 1
\end{theindex}
and this is not good, since I want at least to have \'ethiopien, b\^ateau, etc.,
not to speak about the sorting order which I have not yet included.
There are no errors when processing the file with xindy.
What did I do wrong or forget?
Thanks,
Denis Roegel
