Hi all,
I am writing a xindy style for use in spanish, and found a couple of
problems in isolatin1m-tex.xdy. The merging rule for í (and similars) is
(merge-rule "\'\i" "í" :string :again)
However í is written by LaTeX to file.idx as one of
{\'\i }
{\'\i}
and is not correctly indexed. I think the merging rules for í should
also include
(merge-rule "{\'\i}" "í" :string :again)
(merge-rule "{\'\i }" "í" :string :again)
I think this other form
(merge-rule "\'{\i}" "í" :string :again)
is only present if manually entered that way in \index{}, but it
probably worths to add it just in case.
This avoid sortings like
índice
aberración
This problem is presumably present in the other accented i characters.
There is also a problem when LaTeX writes an accented i in file.idx as
in límites,
l\IeC {\'\i }mites
since the command \IeC is not ignored during the sorting, giving
undesired orderings like
límite
lámina
This is the set of rules I added to cope with that problems
(merge-rule "{\'\i}" "í" :string :again)
(merge-rule "{\'\i }" "í" :string :again)
(merge-rule "\'{\i}" "í" :string :again)
(merge-rule "{\`\i}" "ě" :string :again)
(merge-rule "{\`\i }" "ě" :string :again)
(merge-rule "\`{\i}" "ě" :string :again)
(merge-rule "{\~"\i}" "ď" :string :again)
(merge-rule "{\~"\i }" "ď" :string :again)
(merge-rule "\~"{\i}" "ď" :string :again)
(merge-rule "{\^\i}" "î" :string :again)
(merge-rule "{\^\i }" "î" :string :again)
(merge-rule "\^{\i}" "î" :string :again)
(merge-rule "\IeC " "" :string :again)
Regards,
